Murmur uses Django with a MySQL backend (you can replace with any other backend Django supports). For email, we use postfix along with the python lamson library.

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev python-dev

• sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

git clone https://github.com/haystack/murmur.git

• configure your relay_server (postfix or something else) in config/settings.py
• use port other than 25 (default is currently set at 587)
• edit database details in a new file called private.py. http_handler/settings.py looks for this file to populate database information
• create file /opt/murmur/env with single word containing "dev", "staging", or "prod" for the type of server you are setting up
• create file /opt/murmur/debug with single word containing "true" or "false" to turn on debug mode

• mysql -u root -p
• create database murmur
• Give privileges to the user that will access the database from django: grant all privileges ON murmur.* TO admin@localhost;

• python manage.py syncdb

• lamson start
• python manage.py runserver
