Note: Installation process outlined here has been tested on Debian based Distros. While it should work on other distros, we haven't tested it.

To start installation, run the following commands:

$ ./setup.sh
$ cd components/core/
$ sudo python setup.py develop

Now you need to setup the database for Bassa, run the following commands in the MySQL Terminal:
```
create database Bassa
```
Type the following commands in the root of the project:
```
mysql -u root -p  Bassa < Bassa.sql
```
Open components/core/DBCon.py in the project folder and setup database username and password.
If the environment variables are being used, modify as following :
```
_db=MySQLdb.connect("db", os.environ.get('YOUR_DB_USERNAME'), os.environ.get('YOUR_DB_PASSWORD'), os.environ.get('Bassa'))
```
If the environment variables are not configured and hardcoded strings are being used, replace as :
```
_db=MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", user="YOUR_DB_USERNAME", passwd="YOUR_DB_PASSWORD",db= "Bassa")
```
To test the server, run the following commands:
```
$ cd components/core
$ python Main.py
```
For setting up the UI, change directory to 'Bassa' and run the following commands:
```
$ cd ui
$ npm install
```
You need to install aria2c to start downloads through Bassa. Install it using
```
$ sudo apt-get install aria2
```
To make sure you now have aria2c installed, run:
```
aria2c --enable-rpc
```
To run Bassa, execute the following command in terminal: gulp serve For the first time, the login credentials are 'rand' and password is 'pass'

While testing the servers, you can get a potential error of Flask directory not being found. To resolve this, execute the following commands:
```
$ sudo apt install python-pip
$ pip install Flask
```
While giving the command npm install in step 9, you can get an error that says npm is not installed. To resolve this, execute the following commands:
```
$ sudo apt install npm
```
When you run into errors related to sass packages probably you might be using a bleeding edge node version. So node version 7 is highly recommended.
