To bootstrap the tweetly app, start by cloning the tweetly repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/rightlag/tweetly.git
$ cd tweetly
Create a Python virtual environment and install the dependences:
$ virtualenv twitter
$ source twitter/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Then, set the following environment variables:
| Variable | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
CONSUMER_KEY |
Your Twitter Consumer Key | Yes |
CONSUMER_SECRET |
Your Twitter Consumer Secret | Yes |
MYSQL_USER |
The MySQL database user | Yes |
MYSQL_PASSWORD |
The password for the MySQL database user | Yes |
MYSQL_DB |
The name of the MySQL database | Yes |
PORT |
The server port for the application to run on (default 3000) | No |
After the environment variables are set, execute the .sql script:
$ mysql -u <USERNAME> -p <PASSWORD> < schema.sql
Note: Remove the < and > symbols before and after USERNAME and PASSWORD.
$ python runserver.py
The application should be running on 0.0.0.0:3000 or to the port you set for your environment variable.
