You need pip installed:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
You can now either directly install from the github repository:
pip install git+https://github.com/Backfeed/backfeed-restapi.git
First you need to create an settings file. You can download it from the git repository:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Backfeed/backfeed-restapi/master/development.ini
You can then start the server like this:
pserve development.ini
The default settings will use a database that runs completely in memory, so you will loose any changes after restarting the server.
