Development Environment Setup
You will need the following:
- Python 2.7
- pip
- virtualenvwrapper
- sass -
sudo gem install sass - bower -
sudo npm install -g bower - git-lfs (this is used to store the large image files).
Start by cloning the repository:
$ git clone git@github.com:pyconca/2016-web.git
$ cd ~/2016-web
Install the static asset dependencies:
~/2016-web $ bower install
Create a python virtual environment:
~/2016-web $ mkvirtualenv pycon_web
(pycon_web) ~/2016-web $
The (pycon_web) prefix indicates that a virtual environment called "pycon_web" is being used. Next, check that you have the correct version of Python:
(pycon_web) ~/2016-web $ python --version
Python 2.7.12
(pycon_web) ~/2016-web $ pip --version
pip 8.0.2 from /Users/.../site-packages (python 2.7)
Install the project requirements:
(pycon_web) ~/2016-web $ pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
Run the project:
(pycon_web) ~/2016-web $ python manage.py runserver
This should start a webserver @ 127.0.0.1:5000.
The root directory will return a 404 error. You have to specify a language code (e.x. 127.0.0.1:5000/en/ or 127.0.0.1:5000/fr/).
