Thanks Barry and Terri for your feedback. I was trying to install Postorius locally and analyze what all would be required in a mobile app for Admin. Doing the same, I have hit a roadblock. I am using the wiki provided here[1]. I tried to install mailman using "set up sources" part of the wiki. Though python setup.py install executes without any errors, I am unable to see the folder bin/ in the same directory. So, even though I proceed with further setup, I am getting a "Mailman REST API not available. Please start mailman core" on my localhost:8000 webpage. Could anyone help me here?
