Create your own app_config.py file:

cp api/app_config.py.example api/app_config.py

You will want to change, at the minimum, the following app_config.py fields:

• DB_CONN: edit this field to reflect your PostgreSQL username, server hostname, port, and database name.

• DEFAULT_USER: change the username, email and password on the administrator account you will use on Plenario locally.

Before running the server, Redis.

• To start Redis locally (in the background):

redis-server &

Initialize the dedupe-api database:

python init_db.py

Finally, run the queue and server:

nohup python run_queue.py &
python runserver.py
