Aim to collect data about technology trends and predict them.

All required python libs listed in requirements.txt. But before installing them you should install PostrgreSQL. This project requires at least 9.3 version.

If you need to change any settings, better create local.config.json file in the same directory as config.json and add them there.

• create db user:

• sudo -u postgres -i
• psql

create role ?user_name? createdb login;
\q

• exit

• create db. You can ignore username parameter if created user is same as your os-user name
  • createdb ?db_name? [-U ?user_name?]
• add your db setting into local.config.json file. Fill fields db_name, db_user, db_pass
• create tables by running

psql dbname -U username < project_dir/core/db/create.sql

• Google trends

Configure proxies.json file. Add there list of proxies and login information from google account. If you don`t need proxies leave proxy field empty:

...
"proxy":"",
"user": "name",
"pass": "password"

• StackOverflow Register in StackExchange and create an api-key. Add it to your local.config.file

You need this step if you want updaters to start automatically. Edit files add_crontab.sh and run_updater.sh, enter there correct paths. Check execution rights for these file. Chmod them if necessary.

Then just run run_updater.sh. Check cron entries by

crontab -l

By default it will start every day. You can edit your crontabs as you wish.

Create local.config.json in tornadoweb directory. Add there your db credentials.

Default port is 8888. If you want other port number you can change it in your config file. Remember: you may need give root privileges to application if you want run it on some ports (for example 80).

Start webserver from tornadoweb directory by running (sudo is optional.):

sudo ./main.py start

You can add your own page templates. Just put them into any dir and add "template_dir" parameter to your config file.

For different static files location you can create "staticfiles_dir", "staticfiles_js_dir" and "staticfiles_css_dir" parameters.

Updater and webserver store logs in trends.log and websrv.log files by default. If you want change all logging settings in configuration files. I recommend read this at first.

If you want to change code always look into module docstrings first. Sometimes there is something useful.
