# What is this?

Chime was a part of Code for America’s Digital Front Door inititive. You can read more about it here: https://github.com/codeforamerica/digitalfrontdoor

**Development was halted in October 2015.**

# Install

If you're a Docker user, you can always download the latest build from the Docker Hub as [chimecms/chime](https://hub.docker.com/r/chimecms/chime). Or if you'd like to work with
the source:

1. Chime CMS is a Python Flask web application. Follow the instructions on
[Python Virtual Environments](https://github.com/codeforamerica/howto/blob/master/Python-Virtualenv.md)
to prepare your Python development space. Make sure to use Python 2.7. Your commands may look something like:
+ sudo pip install virtualenv
+ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 .venv
+ source .venv/bin/activate

2. Install the project requirements: `pip install -r requirements.txt`

3. You will need a bare Github repository in the directory `sample-site` with an initial empty commit
(this will become configurable in the future):
+ `mkdir sample-site`
+ `cd sample-site`
+ `git init`
+ `git commit --allow-empty -m "First commit"`

4. copy env.sample to .env

5. Run app using [Honcho and the `Procfile`](https://github.com/codeforamerica/howto/blob/master/Procfile.md):

$ honcho start
