  1. Clone

    git clone https://github.com/ccnmtl/django-lti-provider-example.git cd django-lti-provider

  2. Create the database

    For Postgres:

    • Create a database user/password (if needed)
    • Create the database createdb django-lti-provider-example

    For MySQL: @todo

  3. Customize settings

    • Create a local_settings.py file in the djangoltiproviderexample subdirectory OR

    • Copy djangoltiproviderexample/local_settings.py.example to djangoltiproviderexample/local_settings.py

    • Then, override the variables from settings_shared.py that you need to customize for your local installation.

      • Customize your DATABASES dictionary
        • e.g. set NAME, HOST, USER, and PASSWORD. remove PORT (unless it's non-standard)
      • Specify ALLOWED_HOSTS = [ 'localhost', '.your.blackboard.or.moodle.domain', '.your.workstation.domain', ]

    • The PYLTI_CONFIG variable in your local_settings.py configures the application consumers and secrets. Generate two long random numbers for these values.

      PYLTI_CONFIG = {
    'consumers': {
        '<random number string>': {
            'secret': '<random number string>'
        }
    }
