If you're starting to work on this project and you need it setup on your local machine, follow the steps below.

1. Make sure you have installed git, the PostgreSQL server, client and development files, Python including the development files, Fabric, pip, virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper.

2. Clone the project from the central repo:

   git clone git@github.com:FinalsClub/karmaworld.git

Note that you have to have your SSH keys setup on GitHub to use this URL. If you don't, you can use the HTTP URL: https://github.com/FinalsClub/karmaworld.git.

3. Create a database and optionally a username and put them in the DATABASES setting in a local.py file that you'll place in karmaworld/settings/.

4. Make sure that you're in the root of the project that you just cloned and run

   fab here first_deploy

This will make a virtualenv, install the development dependencies and create the database tables.

5. Now you can run ./manage.py runserver and visit the site in the browser.
