astrosat-test is a simple Django project/app to prove to Astrosat that I can code in Django.

This project gathers data from NASA about their facilities. It does this via a periodic celery task that runs every 5 minutes. Users can also update facility data via a button on the home page (if they don't feel like waiting 5 minutes). Active facilities currently in the database can be viewed via a RESTful API endpoint.

1. download and run setup.sh

• start the installed virtual environment
• run celery in the background astrosat-test celery_worker
• run the server astrosat-test runserver

2. but if that fails, clone the project from github and run it the normal Django way...

• make sure you have python3+
• make sure you have rabbitmq
• create a virtualenv
• install everything in requirements.txt to the virtualenv
• (note that "rcssmin" & "rjsmin" may need to be installed w/ the "--without-c-extensions" flag)
• run python astrosat/manage.py migrate
• run python astrosat/manage.py createsuperuser
• run python astrosat/manage.py loaddata astrosat/astrosat/fixtures/sites.json
• run python astrosat/manage.py loaddata astrosat/astrosat/fixtures/tasks.json
• run python astrosat/manage.py collectstatic --noinput
• run python astrosat/manage.py compress
• run python astrosat/manage.py createsuperuser
• run python astrosat/manage.py celery_worker
• run python astrosat/manage.py runserver
