Installation

If no Docker container can be used the installation of these components is also easy and straightforward.

Please first use the installation package of management app. It will help you to install the necessary components (python3, Apache2, etc.), more information can be found HERE. It will create the database tables too on Oracle or on mariaDB if it is needed.
Then install the standalone mode of Reaction Engine (just download the ZIP and extract it) and alter the configuration.
