Create the database (assuming you already have postgresql installed)

createdb osis_registration_local
createuser osis -P //provide password of your choice
psql -d osis_registration_local
  =# grant connect on database osis_registration_local to osis;
  =# revoke connect on database osis_registration_local from public;
  =# alter user osis createdb;
  =# \q

Enter the repository

cd osis-registration

Make sure you have some python tools needed for creating your virtual environment

sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-venv libjpeg-dev libpng-dev gettext

Create and activate venv

Create the data structre in db:

python3 manage.py migrate

Create the superuser (will later be used to access /admin page):

python3 manage.py createsuperuser

Compile translation files

python3 manage.py compilemessages

That's all folks !

OSIS Registration provides subscribers with a RESTful API enabling apps to request user account creation and poll the requests results. The subscribers are registered as Django users and are identified by a token.

An authorization header with the registered app token must be provided with the request.

Espeak and Sox

For the sake of accessibility, an audio captcha file is read by synthetic voice.

Espeak

In order to generate this file, espeak has to be installed with english and french voices through the following commands:

apt-get install espeak

Once installed, english is available as a default voice, french should be too. You can verify this with:

espeak --voices=fr

The output should include this line:

 5  fr-fr          M  french               fr            (fr 5)

If it is the case, then you are good to go. Otherwise, you will need to install voices. http://espeak.sourceforge.net/languages.html

Sox

Sox adds some noise to the generated audio to complexify the process of computerized captcha solving. You may install Sox with the following command:

apt-get install sox
