# Installation
## Requirements
* [Git](https://git-scm.com)
* [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com)
* [Python 3.8+](https://www.python.org)
## Installation process
This manual assumes that your default Python interpreter is called `python` and is Python 3 of the compatible version.
??? question "What Python interpreter do I use?"
Python may have multiple instances installed on your machine.
On some Linux machines Python 2.7 is the default interpreter called `python`
and Python 3 is called `python3` or `python39`.
You can check which Python version you use using following methods:
=== "Linux"
Check which interpreter is used:
``` sh title="Shell"
which python
```
and check the Python version:
``` sh title="Shell"
python -V
```
You can also change default python as follows:
``` sh title="Shell"
sudo update-alternatives --config python
```
=== "Windows"
Check which interpreters are available:
``` sh title="Terminal"
where python
```
and check the Python version used by default:
``` sh title="Terminal"
python -V
```
You can also change default python using [this guide](https://stackoverflow.com/a/68139696).
Next, use the interpreter of choice instead of `python` during the installation:
``` shell title="Shell"
/usr/local/bin/python311 -m venv .venv
```
Please note that after the activation of a virtual environment, interpreter you need
already has a correct alias and is called `python` regardless of the version.
### Install Mongo
Please follow the [official installation manual](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/installation) for that.
### Clone the source code
``` sh
# Clone the repository
git clone https://git.end-play.xyz/GarbageReminder/API.git
# Then go the repository's directory
cd API
```
### Create virtual environment
=== "Linux"
Create virtual environment and activate it:
``` powershell title="Shell"
python -m pip install virtualenv
virtualenv .venv
.venv/bin/activate
```
=== "Windows"
Create virtual environment and activate it:
``` powershell title="Terminal"
python -m pip install virtualenv
virtualenv .venv
.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
```
### Install the requirements
``` sh
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Configure the API server
This is a minimal configuration needed for the first start. For more config keys visit the [configuration](configuration.md) section in the documentation.
1. Copy file example to the config file
``` sh
cp config_example.json config.json
```
2. Open `config.json` with your favorite text editor
3. Change keys in the `"database"` section to match your MongoDB setup
### Start the API server
You can run your API by the following command:
`uvicorn main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 3000`
Learn more about available uvicorn arguments using `uvicorn --help`
