   SECRET_KEY:
     'your_secret_key_here'
   cloudinary_api_key:

• Create a virtual environment $ workon [name_of_virtual_environment].

• Run $ pip install -r requirements.txt to install all dependencies.

• Ensure npm and bower are installed in your environment.

• Run $ bower install in the project root folder.

• Navigate to the troupon directory $ cd troupon/

• Run $ python manage.py collectstatic to collect static files.

• Run $ python troupon/manage.py runserver to start the server.

• With that you can view the project in your browser via http://127.0.0.1:8000/.

The codebase also includes the Sass build files used to style/theme the application. These can be found in the troupon/static/scss folder. Follow the steps below to setup gulp and gulp-sass for automated pre-processing of the scss files to css stylesheets:

• Ensure npm is installed in your environment.
• Run $ npm install in the project root folder. This installs gulp, gulp-sass and it's other dependencies into the project.
• Run $ gulp command for the initial Sass build as well as to start the 'watch' task responsible for pre-processing subsequent changes the Sass scss files.

To extend this Sass build with your own Sass styles:

• Write them in a Sass partial (.scss file named starting with an underscore e.g _merchants.scss) and save it in the troupon/static/scss/partials folder.

• Import the partial at the end the base_styles.scss file. e.g

  ...
  @import "partials/_merchants";
