brew install python 
brew install ffmpeg
cd [the folder you downloaded RedSea in]
cd RedSea
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Windows:

1. Download ffmpeg
2. Unpack the zip folder fmpeg-nX.X-XX-XXXXXXXX-win64-gpl-X.X.zip inside C:\Program Files\ffmpeg\
3. Go to Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables ...
4. In the Environment Variables window, click the Path row under the Variable column, then click Edit..

6. Now install a stable Python 3.6+release from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ and remember to install the right x64 or x86 according to your PC. Make sure to check the box Add Python 3.6 to the PATH!

Open the CMD:

cd [the folder you downloaded RedSea in]
cd RedSea
pip install -r requirements.txt

3 - Updating RedSea

Mandatory

If you used the Recommended installation way you can easily update your existing installation (all your created sessions will still be intact, so you don't need to create new ones):

cd [the folder you downloaded RedSea in]
cd RedSea
git pull
pip install -r requirements.txt

Important

After removing the fork from the fork network and rewriting the GIT history you need to perform a hard reset in order to use the above commands again:

git reset --hard origin/master

Optional

Sometimes it happens that the settings.py file change, if you haven't modified it at all, you can simply:

cd [the folder you downloaded RedSea in]
cd RedSea
rm config/settings.py
mv config/settings.example.py config/settings.py

which will delete your old settings.py and rename the new downloaded example file to settings.py. But if you modified settings.py you need to make the same changes in the new downlaoded settings.example.py.
