Pinocchio is a system which should assist researchers, and group managers to monitor team activities and to allocate teams. In the capstone course of the Department of Computer Science of the University of Pretoria the system is used for regular peer assessments. The system analyses student reports to determine participatory styles of students. The participatory styles as well as other personal data such as academic standing and personality attributes can be used to allocate teams.
- Clone the Pinocchio repository and
cdinto itgit clone https://github.com/teampinocchio/pinocchio.gitcd pinocchio/
- (Recommended) Create a new Python 3 virtual environment
- Create it:
python3 -m venv ./environment - Activate it:
source ./environment/bin/activate
- Create it:
- Install Django 1.11 and other packages
pip install -r ./requirements.txt
- Apply Database Migrations
python manage.py migrate
- Load required data into database
python manage.py loaddata QuestionGroupings
- Create root user
python manage.py createsuperuser
- Run the server
python manage.py runserver
You should now be able to log in with the superuser's userid and password.
The default configuration is loaded from /pinocchio/baseSettings.py which in turn imports extra
settings from /pinocchio/globalSettings.py. The current base settings is set up for deploying locally.
To use your own settings file, append the following line at the end of your custom settings script:
from pinocchio.globalSettings import *
This will pull all extra settings from the globalSettings.py script.
We prefer deploying Pinocchio with WSGI.
