Packaging/Installation

streamd and watchd need to be easily installed somehow.

We need to make it easy especially for watchd, since our solution is no longer web-based in the sense that they can not just open a URL in their browser.

There is no rush to do this though, we can do it after we open source it.

One solution (which would depend on python and pip and wouldn't work on Windows) would be to write bash scripts (one for each) that automate what we currently do:

1. Setup (only the first time)
   1. Download the necessary files
   2. Create a virtual environment
   3. Install dependencies
2. Call the Python program

The installation of these bash scripts could be condensed into one-liners that users would run in their terminal.

Thoughts?

maybe just one script
that enabled both the streamd and watchd to work

@LudeeD do you mean to "merge" streamd and watchd or to create a bootstrap script that serves to "install" either of the scripts?

I oppose to the first option (merge) but agree with the latter.

[LudeeD]

the second option
