======

SecInv consists of a Django backend, a simple XML-RPC server, and

an XML-RPC client.

# Dependencies

* Apache 2 w/ mod_python (or similar)

* MySQL 5 (or similar)

# Dependencies Installed via pip

* MySQLdb-1.2.3c1 (must be 1.2.1p2 or newer)

* Django 1.2

* django-reversion 1.3.1

* pygments 1.3.1

# Installing Packages on RedHat

To get started:


yum install httpd mysql python-devel git



# Installing Packages on Ubuntu

If you're running a recent version of Ubuntu, you can [install the required

dependencies automatically](apt:python-dev,python-virtualenv,libmysqlclient-dev).

Otherwise, the following command will install the required dependencies:


sudo aptitude install python-dev python-virtualenv libmysqlclient-dev



# Installing Packages on Mac OS X

First, download and install [Homebrew](http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew), then

[Xcode](http://developer.apple.com/technologies/xcode.html).

Finally, you should install these following packages:


brew install python mysql git



# MySQL

Initialize your MySQL environment using the following command:


mysql_install_db



Then follow the instructions to start the MySQL daemon.

Log in using `mysql -u root -p`, and create a database:


> CREATE DATABASE secinv;

> exit;



# Virtualenv

Using `easy_install`, grab `virtualenv` so we can create an isolated Python

environment for development:


sudo easy_install virtualenv



# Virtualenvwrapper 

Get `virtualenvwrapper` so we can easily activate and deactivate virtual

environments from the shell.


curl http://bitbucket.org/dhellmann/virtualenvwrapper/raw/f31869779141/virtualenvwrapper_bashrc -o ~/.virtualenvwrapper

mkdir ~/.virtualenvs



And, add this to your ~/.bashrc:


export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs

source $HOME/.virtualenvwrapper



Finally, `exec bash`.

# Mac OS X Virtualenv

Designate a directory to keep your projects. I prefer `~/Sites/virtualenvs`.


mkdir ~/Sites/virtualenvs

cd ~/Sites/virtualenvs



Use `git` to grab the latest copy of the development branch:


mkvirtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.6 --no-site-packages secinv

git clone git://github.com/cvan/secinv.git

cd secinv/



Now let's use `pip` to conveniently download and install all the remaining

dependencies:


pip install -r requirements.txt



# Django

Change directories to the Django root project directory.


cd secinv/



Modify the `settings.py` file as you see fit (namely, the `BASE_PATH` and

database credentials).

Sync the Django database models (and set up the Django admin authentication):


python manage.py syncdb



Any time you want to run the development server:


python manage.py runserver



# Creating a self-signed SSL certificate for XML-RPC server


cd ~/

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 4096

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

cp server.key server.key.org

openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt



# XML-RPC Server

Modify the `server/settings.conf` file as you see fit (namely, the SSL key &

certificate files and the database credentials).
