Development Setup

Developed on Python 3.4 (earlier Python 3s may or may not work).

• Clone the repository: git clone git@github.com:zackmdavis/Finetooth.git

• Recommended: set up a virtualenv including Pip

• Install the requirements: pip install -r dev_requirements.txt

• Create a file called .development (the presence of this file is used to determine that we should use development rather than production-like Django settings): touch .development

• Configure static files!

  • If you want to serve static JavaScripts and CSS locally, download them with ./manage.py download_statics.

  • If you want to use CDNs, export a truthy "NONLOCAL_STATIC_LIBS" environment variable: export NONLOCAL_STATIC_LIBS=1.

• Set up the database: ./manage.py migrate

• Optional: run the tests maybe!

  • Django tests: ./manage.py test

  • JavaScript tests:

  • jasmine
