Installation Instruction

The following steps are required to install a local verison of codrspace.com. You can see the full hosted solution on EC2 at http://codrspace.com. Please keep in mind that there are a few limitations to running just the local version:

  1. We are using Github OAuth for signup/authentication, which only allows a single callback url for the final part of the OAuth process. Thus, this callback url is set to the hosted version and faked on a local development version.
  2. You will not be able to have a nice profile and missing a lot of Github integration if you run locally without an external Internet connection. Please connect to the Internet :)

See section on 'Running project' for information on how to run both instances locally

General environment setup

Non-virtualenv install

  • Install python 2.6 or 2.7 http://www.python.org
  • Install setuptools
    • Download project from: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#files
    • Run the following: sh setuptools-0.6c9-py2.4.egg (replace with egg file from above)
  • install pip
    • easy_install pip
  • Clone project
  • Use pip to install all project dependencies
    • pip install -r requirements_dev.pip (requirements file is in root of project)

Install with virtualenv

  • Install python 2.6 or 2.7 http://www.python.org

  • Install virtualenv

    • pip install virtualenv
    • pip install virtualenvwrapper

  • Add the following lines to your .bashrc and restart your shell

    • export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenv
    • source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
    • export PIP_VIRTUALENV_BASE=$WORKON_HOME
    • export PIP_RESPECT_VIRTUALENV=true

  • Make a virtualenv called codrspace_app

    • mkvirtualenv codrspace_app

  • Activate the virtual environment

    • workon codrspace_app

  • Clone project

  • Use requirements file to install all project libraries:

    • pip install -r requirements_dev.pip

Running project locally after environment setup

Due to limitation #1, we have developed a solution to 'fake' out the OAuth callbacks for local testing. Unfortunately it requires running two Django dev servers.

  1. Clone the project, copy the example local_settings, start the server on port 9000 for oAuth.
  • git clone git://github.com/durden/dash.git codrspace_app
  • cd codrspace_app
  • workon codrspace_app (only if you used the virtualenv route)
  • cp example_local_settings.py local_settings.py
  • set username key in GITHUB_AUTH in your local_settings.py to your github username
  • python manage.py syncdb
  • python manage.py runserver 9000
  1. Open another shell and start the dev server on port 8000 for the site.
  • cd codrspace_app
  • workon codrspace (only if you used the virtualenv route)
  • python manage.py runserver

Now you have two instances of the django development server running. The instance on port 9000 is only for fake oAuth validation.

Use the site as you normally would through http://localhost:8000.
