The code for the Chipy.org website This project is open source and the license can be found in LICENSE.
To get setup with chipy.org code it is recommended that you use the following:
- Python 2.6+
- virtualenv
- Autoenv
- C compiler (for PIL)
Chipy.org is setup using 12factor, which means that it takes local settings from the environment. For this reason it is recommended that you use autoenv and a .env file. The example .env is::
export DEBUG=True
export GITHUB_APP_ID=youridhere
export GITHUB_API_SECRET=supersecretkeyhere
export SECRET_KEY=somesecretkeyfordjangogoeshere
Note that the only required config is the github stuff. The secret key will be random by default which will cause your session to wipe on every restart.
If using autoenv, the above will be in your environment when you cd to the project directory
Create a virtual environment where your dependencies will live::
$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv)$
Clone the repo
(venv)$ git clone git://github.com/chicagopython/chipy.org.git chipy.org
Make the project directory your working directory::
(venv)$ cd chipy.org
Install project dependencies::
(venv)$ pip install -r requirements.txt
I recommend keeping your development DB as close to production as possible. If you're on a Mac, I recommend using Postgress.app
You will need to run::
(venv)$ python manage.py syncdb
In development you should run::
(venv)$ python manage.py runserver
