Download ..and setup a new Harvest application.

All releases and release notes are posted on the repo's releases page on GitHub.

Prerequisites

Harvest requires Python 2.6 or 2.7 and Unix-based operating system (OS X, Linux, BSD). Most systems come with Python pre-installed or can be easily installed uses the operating system's package manager. For general download and install instructions, visit python.org's download page.

To check if you have Python installed and the version:

which python && python --version

The output should look something like:

/usr/local/bin/python
Python 2.7.2

If you did not see anything, Python is not installed.

Required stdlib modules. Harvest depends on the SSL and SQLite modules to be built in the standard library. If you are building Python from source, the OpenSSL and SQLite C headers must be installed prior to building Python. On CentOS, these are the sqlite-devel and openssl-devel packages.

Pip - A Python Package Manager

In order to install the Harvest package (below), a Python package installer/manager must be installed. We recommend Pip since it is the most prolific one available. To check if this is already installed, use the same command as above.

which pip

If nothing prints out, then do the following to fetch and install it. Note, you may have to add sudo after the pipe (|) if you are installing it globally on your system.

curl http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py | `which python`
curl https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py | `which python`

Install the Harvest Package

The Harvest package is available on PyPi and can be installed using Pip. Again, you may need to prefix this with sudo if this is being installed globally on your system.

pip install harvest

Create A New Harvest Project

Harvest comes with a command-line tool that sets up new projects with one command.

harvest init myproject

Install The Harvest Demo

Not quite ready to dive in? The Harvest demo can be installed with one line for you to play around with and inspect.

harvest init-demo openmrs

For full details on the available commands and options run harvest --help or for help with a specific command, run harvest [command] --help.

Want Harvest a la Carte?

As noted above, releases can be downloaded directly from GitHub or from the package's respective package managers.

Python-based components (Harvest, Avocado, and Serrano) are available on PyPi.

Cilantro is the web client and only contains static files. For convenience, it can be installed using Bower or the Node Package Manager (NPM).

Bower

bower install cilantro

NPM

npm install cilantro
