1. You should have installed Python 2.7, pip and virtualenv.

Under Debian / Ubuntu, this should be as easy as:

      apt-get install python2.7 python-pip virtualenvwrapper 

You might need to install additional dependencies such as:

      apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libpq-dev python-dev

On Mac OS with homebrew, you should install:

      brew install python
      brew pip install virtualenvwrapper

2. Type mkvirtualenv owf

3. Type pip install -r deps-frozen.txt (you might need to run this command as root user, or with sudo)

4. Type make run and point your browser to the URL given by the logs (eg. http://0.0.0.0:5000/).

1. Install Vagrant (read instruction from http://www.vagrantup.com/)

2. Install Ansible (apt-get install ansible or brew install ansible).

3. Run vagrant up. If this fails at some point, you may need to run vagrant provision afterwards.

4. Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/

1. Run points 1 to 3 above.

2. Run vagrant ssh then, on the Vagrant box, run:

   1. cd /vagrant
   2. mkvirtualenv owf
   3. pip install -r deps-frozen.txt
   4. make run

3. Point your browser to http://localhost:5000/

The Ansible config still needs to be tweaked a bit to be able to deploy to production.

If you have a GMail account (say "foobar@gmail.com"), you may use GMail SMTP to send mail in place of "localhost" that may be denied for delivery (RBL, no MX record ...)

Just add OWF_USE_GMAIL_SMTP environment variable:

export OWF_USE_GMAIL_SMTP=foobar:foobar_gmail_password

Joining the first part of the GMail address and the associated password with a ":".

And activate, if not done, the DEBUG mode.

When in DEBUG mode, you may change the recipients of application notifications with the OWF_SDC_RECIPIENTS environment variable that joins all recipients mail addresses with a ":"like this:

export OWF_SDC_RECIPIENTS=me@somewhere.org:myboss@mycompany.com
