Raspberry IO is a Django project using Postgres as our database. To get started, you will need the following programs installed. These should be installed using your operating system's standard package management system:

• Python >= 2.6 (2.7 recommended)
• pip >= 1.1
• virtualenv >= 1.7
• virtualenvwrapper >= 3.0
• Postgres >= 8.4 (9.1 recommended)
• git >= 1.7

Download the code:

git clone git@github.com:python/raspberryio.git
cd raspberryio

Create a virtualenv and install the necessary requirements:

mkvirtualenv --distribute raspberryio
$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/pip install -r $PWD/requirements/dev.txt

Create a local settings file and set your DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to use it:

cp raspberryio/settings/local.example.py raspberryio/settings/local.py
echo "export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=raspberryio.settings.local" >> $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/postactivate
echo "unset DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE" >> $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/postdeactivate

Add the project directory to the virtualenv, deactivate and reactivate it to setup the environment variables above:

add2virtualenv .
deactivate
workon raspberryio

Create the Postgres database:

createdb -E UTF-8 raspberryio

Run the initial syncdb/migrate. When asked to create a superuser, answer no. :

django-admin.py syncdb
django-admin.py migrate

NOTE:

Creating a superuser in the syncdb step will trigger the error django.db.utils.DatabaseError: relation "userprofile_profile" does not exist because of a required one-to-one relation with a user profile model that doesn't exist in the database yet.

Now, create a superuser (This will also create the profile correctly):

django-admin.py createsuperuser

Run the test suite with:

django-admin.py test

You should now be able to run the development server:

django-admin.py runserver
