Running Locally

  • Clone the repo
  • Make and activate a virtualenv (We recommend virtualenvwrapper)
    • e.g. the first time, mkvirtualenv -a path/to/codeforlife-portal codeforlife-portal
    • and thereafter workon codeforlife-portal
    • create settings file under example_project/example_project/local_settings.py with EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
  • ./run - This will:
    • install all of the dependencies using pip
    • sync the database
    • collect the static files
    • run the server

Common Problems

Unapplied migrations on first run

It may be that some migrations were changed and you have .pyc files from the old ones. Try removing all .pyc migrations by running rm migrations/*.pyc from the ocargo repository.
