Download and configure Augur, creating a dev environment using the general cautions noted here: https://oss-augur.readthedocs.io/en/dev/getting-started/installation.html and the full documentation here: https://oss-augur.readthedocs.io/en/dev/development-guide/toc.html
Status: Downloaded and configured augur with the database schema.
Identify new issues you encounter during installation.
Status:
Error 1: Encountered an error SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED while installing required NLTK word lists for machine learning workers.
Resolution:
I'm using Python 3.7 on Mac OSX and my mac doesn't have any local certificate to validate the SSL connections.
I found a file Install Certificates.command in /Applications/Python 3.7 folder and running this file in a terminal installed the certifi python package which helps in validating the SSL connections. After installing the package, it then created a symbolic link from the OpenSSL certificates file to the certificates file installed by certifi. Using this helped in resolving the SSL error and successfully install the required workers.
Error 2: Encountered database error No Augur API key found. while setting up augur and installing the database schema.
Resolution:
After the error shows up, it found out an existing key in the database and prompted if the exisiting key needs to be replaced with the new one or not. Since, that was the first time I was setting up the schema, no previous key was generated. To find out if there's any existing api_key in the database, I connected to my created augur database and ran the query: select * from "augur_operations"."augur_settings" where setting='augur_api_key'; and this query returned no rows. So, I went ahead and selected 'y' to replace the existing key and I encountered unique constraint error. Summarizing the issue, no augur api key was found in the database yet it prompted the user that an api key already exists in the database. Cleaning the build files and running make install helped in properly setting up the database schema.
