Install Tutor
=============
.. _requirements:
Requirements
------------
* Supported OS: Tutor runs on any 64-bit, UNIX-based system. It was also reported to work on Windows.
* Required software:
- `Docker <https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/>`__: v18.06.0+
- `Docker Compose <https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/>`__: v1.22.0+
.. warning::
Do not attempt to simply run ``apt-get install docker docker-compose`` on older Ubuntu platforms, such as 16.04 (Xenial), as you will get older versions of these utilities.
* Ports 80 and 443 should be open. If other web services run on these ports, check the section on :ref:`how to setup a web proxy <web_proxy>`.
* Hardware:
- Minimum configuration: 4 Gb RAM, 2 CPU, 8 Gb disk space
- Recommended configuration: 8 Gb RAM, 4 CPU, 25 Gb disk space
.. note::
On Mac OS, by default, containers are allocated 2 GB of RAM, which is not enough. You should follow `these instructions from the official Docker documentation <https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/#advanced>`__ to allocate at least 4-5 Gb to the Docker daemon. If the deployment fails because of insufficient memory during database migrations, check the :ref:`relevant section in the troubleshooting guide <migrations_killed>`.
.. _install_binary:
Direct binary download
----------------------
The latest binaries can be downloaded from https://github.com/overhangio/tutor/releases. From the command line:
.. include:: cli_download.rst
This is the simplest and recommended installation method for most people. Note however that you will not be able to use custom plugins with this pre-compiled binary. The only plugins you can use with this approach are those that are already bundled with the binary: see the :ref:`existing plugins <existing_plugins>`.
.. _install_source:
Alternative installation methods
--------------------------------
If you would like to inspect the Tutor source code, you are most welcome to install Tutor from `Pypi <https://pypi.org/project/tutor-openedx/>`_ or directly from `the Github repository <https://github.com/overhangio/tutor>`_. You will need python >= 3.6 and the libyaml development headers. On Ubuntu, these requirements can be installed by running::
sudo apt install python3 libyaml-dev
Installing from pypi
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
pip install tutor-openedx
Installing from source
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
git clone https://github.com/overhangio/tutor
cd tutor
pip install -e .
.. _cloud_install:
Zero-click AWS installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tutor can be launched on Amazon Web Services very quickly with the `official Tutor AMI <https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B07PV3TB8X>`__. Shell access is not required, as all configuration will happen through the Tutor web user interface. For detailed installation instructions, we recommend watching the following video:

.. _upgrade:
Upgrading
---------
With Tutor, it is very easy to upgrade to a more recent Open edX or Tutor release. Just install the latest ``tutor`` version (using either methods above) and run the ``quickstart`` command again. If you have :ref:`customised <configuration_customisation>` your docker images, you will have to re-build them prior to running ``quickstart``.
``quickstart`` should take care of automatically running the upgrade process. If for some reason you need to *manually* upgrade from an Open edX release to the next, you should run ``tutor local upgrade``. For instance, to upgrade from Ironwood to Juniper, run::
tutor local upgrade --from=ironwood
.. _autocomplete:
Autocomplete
------------
Tutor is built on top of `Click <https://click.palletsprojects.com>`_, which is a great library for building command line interface (CLI) tools. As such, Tutor benefits from all Click features, including `auto-completion <https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/7.x/bashcomplete/>`_. After installing Tutor, auto-completion can be enabled by running::
_TUTOR_COMPLETE=source tutor >> ~/.bashrc
If you are running zsh, run instead::
_TUTOR_COMPLETE=source_zsh tutor >> ~/.zshrc
After opening a new shell, you can test auto-completion by typing::
tutor <tab><tab>
.. include:: podman.rst
Uninstallation
--------------
It is fairly easy to completely uninstall Tutor and to delete the Open edX platforms that is running locally.
First of all, stop any locally-running platform::
tutor local stop
tutor dev stop
Then, delete all data associated to your Open edX platform::
# WARNING: this step is irreversible
sudo rm -rf "$(tutor config printroot)"
Finally, uninstall Tutor itself::
# If you installed tutor from source
pip uninstall tutor-openedx
# If you downloaded the tutor binary
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/tutor
