Installation

Minisat uses Django web framework which can be installed in Python 3 virtual environment. To create Python 3 virtual environment

python3 -m venv <environment_name>

After that we need to activate the virtual environment by executing

source <environment_name>/bin/activate

Now clone the Github Minisat repository from

git clone https://github.com/miniSat/minisat.git

Minisat requires some Python modules like Django (version 2.0). We can install them by executing

pip install -r requirements.txt

Django ORM is used to create database.

python manage.py makemigrations

Above command will create a Python script which will contain all SQL queries that we need to create the schema of database. The migration files are stored at .../satellite/migrations/.

python manage.py migrate

It will create a database and execute the SQL queries in Python script. Minisat, uses SQLite database to store values.

Now our environment is ready to run Minisat server. To start server

python manage.py runserver

By default, Django server is running at http://localhost:8000.

If you encounter below error

Error: That port is already in use.

Try changing the port number while running the server

python manage.py runserver <port_number>
