### Installation steps

```
* Restart your web server.
### Cron jobs
There are a few scripts which can be set up as cron jobs or scheduled tasks.
#### blocks.sh
Detect new LBRY blocks. Can also be configured to be triggered using the lbrycrd `blocknotify` flag. This cron will create new blocks obtained from lbrycrd starting from the highest block number in the database, and then create the corresponding block transactions. If there are pending transactions created by the forevermempool script, they will be automatically associated with the respective blocks.
#### claimindex.sh
Create claims found on the LBRY blockchain in the database. This requires the Python decoder to be running in the background.
#### pricehistory.sh
Get the current LBC price in USD and store the value in the `PriceHistory` table. This also caches the most recent price in Redis.
#### forever.sh
Run the `forevermempool` script, and restart if necessary. The `forevermempool` script checks the LBRY blockchain mempool every second and creates transactions found in the database. The script makes use of Redis for caching the pending transation IDs.
