Installations

Step 1 - Check prerequisites

1. aa-evescout is a plugin for Alliance Auth. If you don't have Alliance Auth running already, please install it first before proceeding. (see the official AA installation guide for details)

2. aa-evescout requires two Alliance Auth modules to function. Make sure it is properly setup before going on.

   • allianceauth-discordbot
   • django-eveuniverse

Step 2 - Install app

Make sure you are in the virtual environment (venv) of your Alliance Auth installation. Then install the newest release from PyPI:

pip install aa-evescout

Step 3 - Configure Auth settings

Configure your Auth settings (local.py) as follows:

• Add 'evescout' to INSTALLED_APPS
• Add below lines to your settings file:

CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE['evescout_update_signatures'] = {
    'task': 'evescout.tasks.update_all_signatures',
    'schedule': crontab(minute='*/6'),
}

Step 4 - Finalize App installation

Run migrations & copy static files

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py collectstatic --noinput

Restart your supervisor services for Auth.

Step 5 - (OPTIONAL) Load eveuniverse data

This command isn't mandatory

If you want to speed up the application in the future you can decide to run

python manage.py eveuniverse_load_data map

This command will take some time to complete and consume a lot of database space. It isn't mandatory to run it so don't hesitate to skip it if you want to save database space.
