hyperkitty installation: Unclear instructions
Dear all,
I just installed mailman and mailman3-web in virtualenv as described in https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html
Next I moved on to set up hyperkitty as described in https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/hyperkitty/en/latest/install.html. I got confused by the instructions:
"Install the code
Install the HyperKitty package and its dependencies with the following commands:
sudo python setup.py install"
Obviously this is a python script in a package that has to be downloaded from somewhere. Why? Doesn't the command
pip install mailman-web mailman-hyperkitty
already do the job?
Apparently, there is a second way of installing hyperkitty, using virtualenv, where you have to check out the code from gitlab and install from there. However, this still doesn't look right, as hyperkitty apparently can also be installed through
pip install hyperkitty
But then, hyperkitty seems to be already have been pulled in by mailman-web, looking at its dependencies.
If that's the case, then neither the instructions at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/hyperkitty/en/latest/install.html nor those at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/hyperkitty/en/latest/development.html are correct.
Can someone enlighten me on what the canonical way is of installing and setting it up in virtualenv?
Thanks a lot in advance!

You are confused because you are mixing incompatible ways of installation. Installing mailman-web per https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#installing-web-u... installs both HyperKitty an Postorius as dependencies of mailman-web.

Yes.

They are correct, but they are for different methods of installation.

Just follow the instructions at <https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html>. They are the current recommendation and will result in a complete installation.

Thanks! But hyperkitty still has to be configured in order to work, doesn't it? Where are the instructions that are compatible with the virtualenv installation method?
Thanks!

Thanks. But can you tell me where the manage.py is that is needed for the import command mentioned here?
https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html
python manage.py hyperkitty_import -lfoo-list@example.com $var_prefix/archives/private/foo-list.mbox/foo-list.mbox
Thanks!

When you follow the virtualenv install the Django management command is
named mailman-web. This is shown for example at
https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#run-database-mig...
and the next few sections. For importing archives, it would be, with the
venv active, e.g.
(venv)$ mailman-web hyperkitty_import -lfoo-list@example.com
$var_prefix/archives/private/foo-list.mbox/foo-list.mbox
