TODO: describe how to set up the venv directory, using Python 3.3.
Open a console and run this:
./script/run_mongodb.sh
Keep that running. Open a second console and run this:
./script/render_statistics.sh db/statistics.sqlite3
(Ensure db/statistics.sqlite3 does not exist before running this. Always create a new file.)
After it's done (it should take about 10-15 minutes), you can close both consoles. The statistics will remain easily-accessible via MongoDB, in db/mongodb/db/. You can re-run certain steps to overwrite that data.
The code you're running lives in statistics_renderer, and the source data (from Statistics Canada) are in db/statistics/.
See statistics_renderer/README to see how this all works.
It's a long, enormous story. I'll write it up later.
See tile_renderer/README to see how tiles are rendered.
You need at least 40GB of hard drive space, and it's probably faster to stay away from EBS. That means the minimum instance is m1.small. (So it isn't free.)
Run these commands on a brand-new Ubuntu 12.10 instance, with instance storage attached in /mnt.
