Installation

Clone the project

git clone https://github.com/ep4sh/autopsy.git
cd autopsy

Python venv

I'd recommend to use python virtual environment to install all dependencies:

python3 -m venv path/to/new/virtual/environment
source path/to/new/virtual/environment

Dotenv files

Autopsy reads the key-value pairs from .env files and adds them to environment variable

cp .env.example .env

There is a way to spin-up development PostgreSQL database in container via docker-compose. DB credentials are via environment vars - please checl docker-compose.yml file.
