Getting started with development

This page assumes you already have Oracle InstantClient and MongoDB installed.

Install pip:

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python get-pip.py

Install virtualenv:

sudo pip install virtualenv

Create a virtual environment within the pulleffect directory (in our case, /var/www/pulleffect)

virtualenv penv

Symlink activate for slightly easier activation of the virtual environment, then source it:

ln -s penv/bin/activate
source activate

Install python dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Edit your env.py file by setting beta = False

echo env.py > .git/info/exclude
git update-index --assume-unchanged pulleffect/config/env.py

Start pulleffect!

python runserver.py
