Below you will find basic setup and deployment instructions for the tictactoe project. To begin you should have the following applications installed on your local development system:
- Python >= 2.7
- pip >= 1.5
- virtualenv >= 1.10
- virtualenvwrapper >= 3.0
- Postgres >= 9.1
- postgresql-server-dev >= 9.1
- git >= 1.7
To setup your local environment you should create a virtualenv and install the necessary requirements:
mkvirtualenv tictactoe $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/pip install -r $PWD/requirements/dev.txt
Then create a local settings file and set your DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to use it:
cp tictactoe/settings/local.example.py tictactoe/settings/local.py echo "export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=tictactoe.settings.local" >> $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/postactivate echo "unset DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE" >> $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/postdeactivate
Exit the virtualenv and reactivate it to activate the settings just changed:
deactivate workon tictactoe
Create the Postgres database and run the initial syncdb/migrate:
createdb -E UTF-8 tictactoe python manage.py syncdb python manage.py migrate
You should now be able to run the development server:
python manage.py runserver
You can deploy changes to a particular environment with
the deploy command:
fab staging deploy
New requirements or South migrations are detected by parsing the VCS changes and will be installed/run automatically.
