Just execute these commands in your virtualenv(wrapper):

pip install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py syncdb --all --noinput
python manage.py migrate --fake
python manage.py loaddata initial_user
python manage.py sample_data
python manage.py createinitialrevisions

You have to load the sql sentences of the file sql/tags.sql and your database must support PL/Python. You use a dbuser with privileges in the database, 'taiga' for example, to do this.

psql taiga

CREATE LANGUAGE plpythonu;

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION unpickle (data text)
    RETURNS text[]
AS $$
    import base64
    import pickle

    return pickle.loads(base64.b64decode(data))
$$ LANGUAGE plpythonu IMMUTABLE;

CREATE INDEX issues_unpickle_tags_index ON issues_issue USING btree (unpickle(tags));

Note: taiga only runs with python 3.3+.

Note: Initial auth data: admin/123123

Django-Rest Framework by default returns 403 for not authenticated requests and permission denied requests. The file taiga/base/monkey.py contains a temporary fix for this bug.

This patch is applied when the module base.models it's loaded. Once it's solved on django rest framework, this patch can be removed.
