The setup codepath

Setup is wrapped in OS-specific scripts (setup_linux.sh, for example). What that really does is call into the setup management command located in the kalite/management/commands directory.

Setup does all of the necessary configuration, including:

• Setting up the database for KA Lite
• Requesting a username and password to create an admin account
• Requesting information about your server.

Setup can also run to upgrade your installation.

Setup can also be run in non-interactive mode, where all information is either input as parameters, or sensible defaults are used.

There is a (secret) way to run setup from within the kaserve command that will install the server at the time of its first launch.
