RCard

Below you will find basic setup and deployment instructions for the rcard project. To begin you should have the following applications installed on your local development system:

- Python >= 3.0
- Django >= 1.8
- Postgres >= 9.4

Getting Started

To setup your local environment you should create a virtualenv and install the necessary requirements:

mkvirtualenv rcard
$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 rcard/settings/local.example.py rcard/settings/local.py
echo "export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=rcard.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 rcard

Create the Postgres database and run the initial syncdb/migrate:

python manage.py makemigrations waterfall_wall
python manage.py migrate

You should now be able to run the development server:

python manage.py runserver
