Python environment

virtualenv-burrito is an easy way to get a working python development environment. After installing virtualenv-burrito, use the command mkvirtualenv to create a new venv, and workon to access your available venvs.

Python requirements

Once inside your venv you need to install the python dependencies. The command pip install -r requirements.txt should do it.

Local settings

cd into yndc/settings and use the local settings template to create your local settings file. cp local.py.example local.py. This changes the development environment to use Django's FileSystemStorage for file uploads.

Database and migrations

You can currently use sqlite as your development database. Run ./manage.py migrate to set it up.

Create a user

Run ./manage.py createsuperuser to create a superuser.

Run server

Run ./manage.py runserver to run the server. Hit it in the browser at localhost:8000.
