You need to install some pretty useful thing to be able to run this project, here is the list

• Homebrew : first of all, to helps you in managing the following dependencies.

Then :

• LibJPEG : $ brew install libjpeg

  you'll probably needs this if you want to make some thumbnails of jpeg images.

• virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper

• Redis : $ brew install redis

• PostgreSQL : $ brew install postgresql

• RabbitMQ : $ brew install rabbitmq

$ mkvirtualenv myproject
$ workon myproject
$ pip install 'Django<1.7'
$ django-admin.py startproject --template=https://github.com/dulaccc/django-skel-custom/zipball/master --name=Makefile myproject
$ cd myproject
$ pip install -r reqs/dev.txt

Then initialize the database

$ createdb myproject
$ python manage.py syncdb
$ python manage.py migrate

And you're ready to run the server :) $ python manage.py runserver or $ make rs thanks to some shortcuts defined in the Makefile

$ heroku config:add DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=myproject.settings.prod
