1. Clone the repository:

   git clone git@github.com:eaudeweb/cites-meetings.git -o github
   cd cites-meetings

2. Create & activate a virtual environment:

   virtualenv sandbox
   echo '*' > sandbox/.gitignore
   . sandbox/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

4. Create a configuration file:

   mkdir -p instance
   echo 'SECRET_KEY = "something random"' >> instance/settings.py
   echo 'ACCOUNTS = [ ("tester@example.com", "secretpw") ]' >> instance/settings.py

5. Set up the PostgreSQL database:

   createdb cites
   psql cites -c 'create extension hstore'
   ./manage.py syncdb

6. Create a testing database and run the unit tests:

   createdb cites_test
   psql cites_test -c 'create extension hstore'
   nosetests

7. Run a test server:

   ./manage.py runserver

8. Deploy (after customizing local_fabfile.py):

   fab deploy

To set up the PostgreSQL database in Debian, you need to install the packages postgresql-9.1, postgresql-contrib-9.1 and postgresql-server-dev-9.1. Then create a database, enable the hstore extension, and grant access to a user:

root # su - postgres
postgres $ psql template1
psql (9.1.2)
Type "help" for help.

template1=# CREATE USER edw WITH PASSWORD 'edw';
CREATE ROLE
template1=# CREATE DATABASE cites;
CREATE DATABASE
template1=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE cites TO edw;
GRANT
template1=# \q
postgres $ psql cites
cites=# create extension hstore;
