Hi, The doc is very helpful. Thanks for that! Beyond that, I want to check if my workflow is correct:
I git cloned repository from ReviewBoard(ex. GitHub - reviewboard/reviewboard at release-5.0.x <https://github.com/reviewboard/reviewboard/tree/release-5.0.x>), "cd" into the corresponding directory, and then "pip install ." there. It seems like pip is able to use the setup.py(from ReviewBoard) to complete the installation, and I can see ReviewBoard module is installed successfully with "pip show reviewboard". Is this considered to be a "correct" workflow? Since I do encounter a lot of python problems later when I try to bring up reviewboard page, so I want to make sure my initial setups are correct. Meanwhile, when I tried the same steps on another Debian machine, I received "Error: failed buiding wheel for RewiewBoard" and "Legacy install failure" errors. Do you have any suggestions for these? Thanks a lot!! On Thursday, November 2, 2023 at 12:47:10 PM UTC-4 Work Bot wrote: > Thanks!
