You should have virtualenv installed. If not, do:

(sudo) pip install virtualenv

To create a virtual environment, run in project root:

virtualenv venv

Activate using:

source venv/bin/activate

Finally, to make sure you're up to date with project dependencies, do:

pip install -r requirements.txt

and

cd webapp

npm install

bower install

This assumes you have mysql. Install, preferably through brew.

Run

make db

to create the test database from the dataset in /data.

Run

make dev

in a separate shell to compile the main css file and run a watcher.

Then

make serve

to run the server. Go to http://localhost:5000 to see the page.

Run

node webapp/lesswatcher.js

to create the CSS files and watch for LESS changes.

When deploying to Heroku, check the following:

• necessary css assets are in webapp/dist
• necessary built js assets are in webapp/dist
• config.py is configured to use Heroku settings
