Development environment

The easiest way to set up your machine would be to use Vagrant, then in the project folder in the terminal type:

vagrant liverun

Backend setup

After installing Python 3, from the project folder:

sudo apt-get install python3-venv python3-dev libjpeg-dev
pyvenv env
. env/bin/activate

pip install -U pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

./manage.py migrate
./manage.py createsuperuser

You will be asked a few questions to create an administrator account.

Frontend setup

Make sure a recent version of node.js is installed, then:

npm install -g bower grunt-cli
npm install
bower install

If you have one installed, also start your local redis server (service redis start).

Starting up

Run this after completing setup:

./manage.py runserver &
grunt browser-sync

A default browser should open pointing to the default home page.

Now access the admin panel with the user account you created earlier: http://localhost:3000/admin/

Troubleshooting

• Issues with migrating database tables in SQLite during development? Try ./manage.py migrate --fake
