+## Dependencies
+There are certain dependencies for konova:
+* Postgresql and initial setup
+    * An instance of a postgresql server must be reachable 
+    * The database defined in `django_settings.py` must exist (default 'konova')
+    * All django migrations need to be migrated into the database (`python manage.py migrate`)
+    * The initial setup command needs to be run once after successful migration (`python manage.py setup`)
+* Virtualenv
+    * Konova is a python project, therefore a virtual environment has to be created (>=python3.7) and used for the project
+        * This becomes obsolet in case of docker container based deployment
+* PIP
+    * All python dependency requirements need to be fullfiled (`pip install -r requirements.txt`)
+        * Run command in virtualenv (or docker container)! 
+* Redis and celery
+    * An instance of a redis server must be reachable
+    * The configuration for a broker defined in `celery.py` needs to point to redis
+    * Background processes need to be started (`celery -A konova worker -l INFO`)
+        * More info [here](https://docs.celeryq.dev/en/stable/userguide/workers.html#starting-the-worker)
+        * Keep in mind that each background process is an instance of konova itself!
+* Codelists
+    * All codes that are used in konova (registration offices, biotope types, ...) are fetched from the rlp own public list of osiris keys (e.g. https://codelisten.naturschutz.rlp.de/repository/referenzliste/903)
+    * Codes can be fetched using the custom command found in app `codelist` in konova (`python manage.py update_codelist`)
+        * This should be run once a night, e.g. using cron as scheduler
