Very Hastily Written™ Hacker's Guide to Poking at the Source

1. $ python3 -m venv --clear .env
2. $ source .env/bin/activate
3. (kremlin)$ pip install -r requirements.txt
4. (kremlin)$ git clone https://github.com/glasnost/kremlin.git kremlin
5. (kremlin)$ cd kremlin
6. (kremlin)$ cp kremlin-example.cfg kremlin.cfg && vim kremlin.cfg
7. (kremlin)$ KREMLIN_CONFIGURATION=$(pwd)/kremlin.cfg python runserver.py

Note

On Mac OS X you will need additional dependencies before Pillow builds correctly.

Run this before you run pip install above:

brew install libjpeg

You will of course need Brew installed.
