Review Board Installer

The Review Board Installer, rbinstall, is designed to simplify installing Review Board on a wide variety of Linux distributions.

Installation can be performed with a single command:

$ curl https://install.reviewboard.org | python3

Alternatively, you can run:

$ pipx run rbinstall

The installer must be run as root.

Compatibility

rbinstall requires a supported Linux or macOS system with Python 3.7 or higher.

NOTE: If you're using a non-default version of Python, you will need to use a web server such as gunicorn, uwsgi, or build an Apache mod_wsgi for your server using mod_wsgi-express.
