• Python 2.7 with virtualenv and pip

• build essentials and many dev packages if on debian/ubuntu/fedora

  • libpq-dev, libjpeg-dev, libpng12-dev, build-essential, python-dev, gettext

• nodejs (probably 0.8+ but tested on 0.10) (you will need a ppa for ubuntu < 14.04)

• create a Python 2.X virtualenv
• activate the virtual env
• go to this directory
• make
• ./manage.py runserver

run make all_tests to run all tests together

Activate virtual env, then: make python_tests

In the root of repository:

make karma_tests
