WFP GIS Unit web site and applications

• Clone the project::

  $ cd ~/git $ git clone https://github.com/WorldFoodProgramme/imaps.git

• create a virtual environment and activate it::

  $ virtualenv --no-site-packages env $ . env/bin/activate

• Install requirements::

  $ pip install -r requirements.txt

• add a local_settings.py file::

  $ cp local_settings.py.tmpl local_settings.py

• edit the local_settings.py file with your database and other credentials

• sync the database and create a superuser::

  $ python manage.py syncdb --all

• Download the GeoNames database (needed by sm@rtfeeds)::

  $ wget http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/allCountries.zip $ unzip allCountries.zip

• Import GeoNames using a GDAL virtual driver. Create this geonames.vrt file::

  CSV:allCountries.txt wkbPoint EPSG:4326

• Then run ogr2ogr to import the .csv file to PostGIS::

  $ ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname='imaps' host='localhost' port='5432' user='imaps' password='imaps'" geonames.vrt

• Create the index to speed the text search::

  CREATE INDEX geonames_lower_idx ON geonames USING btree (lower(name::text) COLLATE pg_catalog."default" );

• Schedule the importing processes in crontab. Copy the crontab.sh.tmpl file to crontab.sh and modify it as needed::

  $ cp crontab.sh.tmpl crontab.sh

• Open the crontab and schedule it as per your need::

  $ crontab -e */5 * * * * /home/capooti/git/github/capooti/smartfeeds/crontab.sh > /tmp/smartfeeds.log 2>&1

• Run the server, create a Search object and wait for tweets and feeds
