Manual Instal

On this page, you can find instructions on how to manually instal MIND (directly on the host) and on how to update your manual installation.

Installation

Time settings

Make sure to set all time related settings (time, date, timezone, etc.) correct on your computer, as MIND depends on it to work correctly.

Installing MIND

Warning

These instructions are still under construction.

On Windows, there are a couple of extra steps involved.

  1. Download and instal Python. This is the framework MIND runs on top of.
    Make sure you select to add Python to PATH when prompted. This will make installing requirements much easier.
  2. Download (or clone) the latest MIND release.
  3. Extract the zip file to a folder on your machine.
    We suggest something straightforward - C:\apps\MIND is what we'll use as an example.
  4. Instal the required python modules (found in requirements.txt). This can be done from a command prompt, by changing to the folder you've extracted MIND to and running a python command. 
    cd C:\apps\MIND
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
  5. Run MIND with the command python C:\apps\MIND\mind.py.
  6. Access MIND with the IP of the host machine and port 8080.
    If it's the machine you're using, try http://localhost:8080

If you want MIND to run in the background, without you having to start it each time your machine restarts, a tool called nssm will allow you to configure MIND to run as a system service. It is recommended that you set it up as above before doing this, as it will allow you to see any errors you may encounter on screen (instead of having nssm intercept them).

sudo apt-get install git python3-pip
sudo git clone https://github.com/Casvt/MIND.git /opt/MIND
cd /opt/MIND
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 MIND.py

Use docker.
Permissions on macOS (and GateKeeper) make this needlessly complex.

Updating instal

Coming Soon.
