Install Lookyloo Dependencies
Install Poetry
Poetry handles dependency installation as well as building and packaging of Python packages.
See the installation guide for more details.
Install Valkey
Lacus supports valkey or redis, but valkey is prefered now due to the change of license. |
Valkey: An open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache and message broker.
Valkey should be installed from the source, and the repository must be in the same directory as the one you will be cloning Lookyloo in to. |
Since Lookyloo 1.26, valkey 8.0 is required. |
In order to compile and test valkey, you will need a few packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install build-essential tcl
git clone https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey
cd valkey
git checkout 8.0
make
# Optionally, you can run the tests:
make test
cd ..
