1. Install python: https://www.python.org/downloads/
2. Install pip: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
3. Install virtualenv: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/installation/
   1. pip install virtualenv
4. Windows-specific pre-reqs:
   1. Install VS C++ build tools: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools&rel=15

1. build a virtualenv for your project
   • cd <project path>
   • virtualenv venv
   • Linux: source venv/bin/activate
   • Windows: venv/Scripts/activate
2. Install application requirements in your virtual environment:
   • pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Run the application (make sure you run this from the project directory):
   • python src/app.py

Point your web browser to http://localhost:5000

1. Install PostgresSQL (https://www.postgresql.org/download/)
   • Use an admin username/password that you will remember later.
   • This is different based on your OS, just make sure you don't deviate from the defaults.
2. Create the "ChoreExplore" Database
   • You can do this using PGAdmin (should have been installed if you ran the Windows installer), or using the command line tool.
   • Create a user account 'cxp' with the password 'choresarereallyfun'
     • This is hard-coded for now into our config, will change this in production
   • Make 'cxp' the owner of the ChoreExplore database
   • Make 'cxp' the owner of the public schema under the ChoreExplore database
3. Run the python setup scripts
   • From the project directory, run:
     1. python .\setup-scripts\XX-CleanDatabase.py
        • This script deletes all of the tables (cleans up) and prepares for the next script below
     2. python .\setup-scripts\01-CreateAndSeedTables.py
        • This will create all of the necessary tables, seed the administrator user, and seed the roles.
   • You should run these two commands every time you check out a new branch - things may have changed.

1. yarn (Downloads all frontend/development dependencies)
2. gulp fonts (Copies fontawesome fonts over to static/fonts)
3. gulp min (runs min to minify JS/CSS files)
   • You need to re-run gulp min every time you make a change to JS/CSS files for it to re-minify and pick up your changes.
