Installation
============
-Installation
-------------
+You can install *bsie* via pip. BSIE comes with support for various file formats.
+For this, it needs to install many external packages. BSIE lets you control
+which of these you want to install. Note that if you choose to not install
+support for some file types, BSIE will show a warning and skip them.
+All other formats will be processed normally.
+It is recommended to install *bsie* in a virtual environment (via ``virtualenv``).
-Install *bsie* via pip::
+To install only the minimally required software, use::
pip install --extra-index-url https://pip.bsfs.io bsie
-This installs the `bsie` python package as well as the `bsie.app` command.
-It is recommended to install *bsie* in a virtual environment (via `virtualenv`).
+To install all dependencies, use the following shortcut::
+
+ pip install --extra-index-url https://pip.bsfs.io bsie[all]
+
+To install a subset of all dependencies, modify the extras part (``[image, preview]``)
+of the follwing command to your liking::
+
+ pip install --extra-index-url https://pip.bsfs.io bsie[image,preview]
+
+Currently, BSIE providesthe following extra flags:
+
+* image: Read data from image files.
+ Note that you may also have to install ``exiftool`` through your system's
+ package manager (e.g. ``sudo apt install exiftool``).
+* preview: Create previews from a variety of files.
+ Note that support for various file formats also depends on what
+ system packages you've installed. You should at least install ``imagemagick``
+ through your system's package manager (e.g. ``sudo apt install imagemagick``).
+ See `Preview Generator <https://github.com/algoo/preview-generator>`_ for
+ more detailed instructions.
+* features: Extract feature vectors from images.
