Desktop Deployment
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
pgAdmin may be deployed as a desktop application by configuring the application
|
|
to run in desktop mode and then utilising the desktop runtime to host and
|
|
display the program on a supported Windows, Mac OS X or Linux installation.
|
|
|
|
**Note: Pre-compiled and configured installation packages are available for
|
|
a number of platforms. These packages should be used by end-users whereever
|
|
possible - the following information is useful for the maintainers of those
|
|
packages and users interested in understanding how pgAdmin works.**
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
*************
|
|
|
|
In order to configure pgAdmin to run in desktop mode, it is first necessary to
|
|
configure the Python code to run in single-user mode, and then to configure the
|
|
runtime to find and execute the code.
|
|
|
|
Python
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
In order to configure the Python code, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure that any existing configuration database (``pgadmin4.db``) is moved
|
|
out of the way in the ``web/`` directory containing the pgAdmin Python code.
|
|
|
|
2. Create a ``config_local.py`` file alongside the existing ``config.py`` file.
|
|
|
|
3. Edit ``config_local.py`` and add the following setting:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
SERVER_MODE = False
|
|
|
|
4. Run the following command to create the configuration database:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ python setup.py
|
|
|
|
Runtime
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
When executed, the runtime will automatically try to execute the pgAdmin Python
|
|
application. If execution fails, it will prompt you to adjust the Python Path
|
|
to include the directories containing the pgAdmin code as well as any additional
|
|
Python dependencies. You can enter a list of paths by separating them with a
|
|
semi-colon character, for example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
/Users/dpage/.virtualenvs/pgadmin4/lib/python2.7/site-packages/;/Users/dpage/python-libs/
|
|
|
|
The configuration settings are stored using the QSettings class in Qt, which
|
|
will use an INI file on Unix systems, a plist file on Mac OS X, and the registry
|
|
on Windows. The Python Path setting is stored in the ``PythonPath`` key. |
