<p>First, clone the source code of searx to the desired folder. In this case the source
is cloned to ~/myprojects/searx. Then create and activate the searx-ve
virtualenv and install the required packages using manage.sh.</p>

<dt>Turn on debug logging</dt>
<dd><p class="first last">Whether you are working on a new engine or trying to eliminate a bug, it is always a good idea
to turn on debug logging. When debug logging is enabled a stack trace appears,
instead of the cryptic <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Internal</span> <span class="pre">Server</span> <span class="pre">Error</span></code> message. It can be turned on by setting
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">debug:</span> <span class="pre">False</span></code> to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">debug:</span> <span class="pre">True</span></code> in settings.yml.</p>

<dt>Run <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">./manage.sh</span> <span class="pre">tests</span></code> before creating a PR.</dt>
<dd><p class="first last">Failing build on Travis is common because of PEP8 checks. So a new commit must be created
containing these format fixes. This phase can be skipped if <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">./manage.sh</span> <span class="pre">tests</span></code> is run
