Environment Setup

Install requirements:
- install pip if you don't have it already.
- install virtualenvwrapper: pip install virtualenvwrapper
Get the codebase: git clone git@github.com:fle-internal/fle-home.git
Make a virtualenv to install dependencies:
- cd <dir_name>
- mkvirtualenv <desired_virtualenv_name>
- *Linux users: To get the mkvirtualenv command to work, you may have to add: source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh to your .bashrc file (and restart bash). You may also have to run: sudo apt-get install python-dev in order to be able to use pip inside the virtualenv.
Install the dependencies listed in requirements.txt: pip install -r requirements.txt
- *Windows users: You may run into an error "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat" when trying to install Pillow. If this occurs, delete the Pillow requirement from requirements.txt and run easy_install pillow after all other requirements have installed.
Create a local_settings.py file as a sibling to the settings.py file. Inside, set DEBUG = True (so static files will load in dev mode).
Set up the database: python manage.py syncdb --migrate
Run the server: python manage.py runserver

Final notes:

When you're done, you can cancel the virutalenv with the command: deactivate
The map requires certain data files to use, and you will get an error if you try and view it at /map/ because they haven't been included in the repo.
The blog won't work until you add at least one post to it. (needs fixing up...)
