It would often be a good idea to use a virtual environment to set this project's packages and dependencies apart from other projects.
Make sure pip3 and yarn are installed: Mac OS
brew install python3.6 yarn
Ubuntu 16.04
apt-get ugrade
apt-get install python3.6 yarn
Set up the requirements:
pip3 install -r interlecture/requirements.txt
yarn
If you are having problems installing psycopg2, try running this command instead:
env LDFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib" pip --no-cache install psycopg2
Install on Ubuntu / Mac OS
Install postgres: brew install postgres or apt-get install postgresql
On linux based systems you may need to follow theese instructions: http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/52849/how-do-i-install-postgresql-in-debian-ubuntu
Initialise a database (set the password to whatever you want): initdb -D ~/dbs/interlecture/ -U interlecture -W
Start the database: pg_ctl -D ~/dbs/interlecture/ -l postgresql.log start
If the command pg_ctl is not found insert PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/bin export PATH
into .profile and run . .profile (or exchange 9.5 with correct version number)
Go into postgres with the new user, then create a new database:
psql -U interlecture -d template1
[...]
template1=# CREATE DATABASE interlecture;
Make a local_settings.py file and define the variables that are imported in settings.py. User and database are both interlecture, host is usually 127.0.0.1, and the default port is 5432.
Test run django with python manage.py runserver. If it works, run python manage.py migrate to set up the database tables.
In order to be able to log in you must first create a user by running ./manage.py createsuperuser
Create 'test' classroom using django-admin.
You're done!
