Installation

RhodeCode is written entirely in Python, but in order to use it's full potential there are some third-party requirements. When RhodeCode is used together with celery You have to install some kind of message broker, recommended one is rabbitmq to make the async tasks work.

Of course RhodeCode works in sync mode also, then You don't have to install any third party apps. Celery will give You large speed improvement when using many big repositories. If You plan to use it for 2 or 3 small repositories, it will work just fine without celery running.

After You decide to Run it with celery make sure You run celeryd and message broker together with the application.
