The steps for local installation are in docs/src/installation/local.md.
You can create a virtual environment then run pip install -r requirements.txt while in the root folder which will install the dependencies.
I hope this helps.

Hello, @KafayatYusuf, @spwoodcock, I want to work on this issue can you assign me, please?

[spwoodcock]

Most dependencies should install easily with pip.

Psycopg2 is slightly more complex as it requires underlying system libraries to be installed too. There is good documentation about this https://www.psycopg.org/docs/install.html#build-prerequisites

Is there anything else specifically that you feel needs to be addressed?

Including in an install guide might be possible - feel free to work on this & Kshitij can review / decide on if the package needs it 👍

Hello, @spwoodcock , @kshitijrajsharma if I add the psycopg2 in the requirement.txt file would it solve this issue? where should I add the Documentation

[kshitijrajsharma]

Psycopg2 is in requirements.txt . As sam mentioned in order to install psycopg2 using pip it requires to build binary first , We can simply mention this in documentation and redirect user to installation doc that psycopg2 has .
