This document provides instructions for installing and running rhizome.org locally for development. Caveats: ArtBase, search and payment processing don't work locally. Powered by Django.

$ git clone git@github.com:rhizomedotorg/rhizome.org.git

configure

$ cd path/to/rhizome.org/
$ cp rhizome/local_settings_example.py rhizome/local_settings.py

open local_settings.py and set SECRET_KEY to some string, (docs), may also want to change DATABASES configuration.

Install virtualenv (docs)

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

install dependencies

hold your breath!

pip install -r requirements.txt

sh sysop_roll_db.sh

ignore these errors:

Failed to install index for...

$ cd /path/to/rhizome.org
$ source venv/bin/activate
