Run Lingobarter

Install needed packages in your local computer

You can install everything you need in your local computer or if preferred use a virtualenv for Python

Mongo

• Lingobarter requires a MongoDB instance running to connect.

  1. If you don't have a MongoDB instance running, you can quickly configure it:

     • Download from here
     • Unzip the file
     • Open a separate console
     • Run it inside the MongoDB directory:

       ./bin/mongod --dbpath /tmp/

       WARNING: If you want to persist the data, give another path in place of --dbpath /tmp

  2. If you already have, just define your MongoDB settings:

     $ $EDITOR lingobarter/local_settings.py
     ===============lingobarter/lingobarter/local_settings.py===============
     MONGODB_DB = "yourdbname"
     MONGODB_HOST = 'your_host'
     MONGODB_PORT = 27017
     MONGODB_USERNAME = None
     MONGODB_PASSWORD = None
     =============================================================
     
     # You can also use envvars `export LINGOBARTER_MONGO_DB="yourdbname"`
