```
**Install Development tools**
```bash

**Install PIP**

```
**Install Virtual Environment**
```bash
pip install -U virtualenv
```


**Install Yarn for building NodeJS asset files:**

```

## Clone the PowerDNS-Admin repository to the installation path:
```bash
cd /opt/web/
git clone https://github.com/PowerDNS-Admin/PowerDNS-Admin.git powerdns-admin
```

**Prepare the Virtual Environment:**
```bash
cd /opt/web/powerdns-admin
virtualenv -p python3 flask
```
**Activate the Python Environment and install libraries**
```bash
. ./flask/bin/activate
pip install python-dotenv
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Running PowerDNS-Admin

NOTE: The default config file is located at `./powerdnsadmin/default_config.py`. If you want to load another one, please set the `FLASK_CONF` environment variable. E.g.
```bash
export FLASK_CONF=../configs/development.py
```

**Then create the database schema by running:**
```
(flask) [khanh@localhost powerdns-admin] export FLASK_APP=powerdnsadmin/__init__.py
(flask) [khanh@localhost powerdns-admin] flask db upgrade
```

**Also, we should generate asset files:**
```
(flask) [khanh@localhost powerdns-admin] yarn install --pure-lockfile
(flask) [khanh@localhost powerdns-admin] flask assets build
```

**Now you can run PowerDNS-Admin by command:**
```
(flask) [khanh@localhost powerdns-admin] ./run.py
```

Open your web browser and access to `http://localhost:9191` to visit PowerDNS-Admin web interface. Register an user. The first user will be in Administrator role.

At the first time you login into the PDA UI, you will be redirected to setting page to configure the PDNS API information.

_**Note:**_ For production environment, i recommend to run PowerDNS-Admin with WSGI over Apache instead of flask's built-in web server...  
 Take a look at [WSGI Apache Example](web-server/WSGI-Apache-example#fedora) WIKI page to see how to configure it.
