Hi
Since I cannot install kallitea via pip (my python version in Ubuntu
16.04 is too old) I thought to give the installation from source a try.
The documentation in
https://kallithea.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html
Reads
,----
| hg clone https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea -u stable
| cd kallithea
| python3 -m venv ../kallithea-venv
| . ../kallithea-venv/bin/activate
| pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
| pip install --upgrade -e .
| python3 setup.py compile_catalog # for translation of the UI

I don't understand the lines
python3 -m venv ../kallithea-venv
. ../kallithea-venv/bin/activate
Is this supposed to be one line?
What does the . At the beginning of the second line supposed to be?
No, that is two separate commands that can be run as written.
`.` is a `sh` command for sourcing another file. In recent derivates
like bash it can also be invoked as `source`. See `help .` and `help
source` and
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html#creating-virtual-environments
(and https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea/changeset/855ba1f07aeb ).
