• Install Python 2.7 from http://www.python.org

• Get git working (github has Github for Windows at http://windows.github.com/)

• Make a fork of the table_differ repository in github, then git clone the fork. https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo is a good link describing github's recommended process for forking a repo.

• Get Pip and VirtualEnv running... this will help keep development environment clean and reproducible https://zignar.net/2012/06/17/install-python-on-windows/

• Create a virtual environment to develop with

virtualenv venv-table_differ

• Activate the virtual environment

• Download the dependencies into the virtual environment using pip (do this from the same shell window you activated the virtual environment from)

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Initialize the ORM/sqlite database. This will create a file named "table_differ.db". Whenever you want a clean slate, delete this file and run the command again.

python db_init.py

• Run the server

python new_server.py
