Scripts to install and configure Hoover

Getting started

This magic script will create a folder (named hoover by default) and install components in it:

• Clones of the search, snoop2 and ui repos
• Virtualenvs and Python dependencies for search and snoop2
• npm dependencies for ui

python3.5 <(curl -sL https://github.com/hoover/setup/raw/master/install.py)

To run the servers, start these two daemons from a daemon manager like supervisor:

bin/hoover webserver snoop2 --host=localhost --port=9000
bin/hoover webserver search --host=localhost --port=8000

Later, if you want to upgrade to the latest version:

bin/hoover update
bin/hoover upgrade
