# Requisites

* Django (Python)

* PostgreSQL

* LESS (use node.js Grunt or Compass to compile CSS)

Environment Requirements

------------

	$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Database

--------

We use PostgreSQL: http://www.postgresql.org/

For OSX we recommend: http://postgresapp.com/

See http://od-eon.com/blogs/calvin/postgresql-cheat-sheet-beginners/

for a bit of setup info. Basically:

	$ sudo su - postgres

	$ createuser django -P # enter password, answer no to all questions

	$ createdb -E utf8 -O django ecobasa -T template0

As user posgres, you might have to check /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_hba.conf

if the TYPE 'local' for USER 'all' has METHOD set to 'md5' .

Afterwards you should be able to bootstrap the database as your normal user:

	$ ./manage.py syncdb --noinput

	$ ./manage.py migrate

	$ ./manage.py createsuperuser

Note: Running `syncdb` with `--noinput` is important, as otherwise setting up

the superuser will fail due to tables which would only be created at migration

time.

Running

-------

Before running in production mode, you should collect the static files:

	$ ./manage.py collectstatic

which will collect all apps' static files into the directory static/ .

Run it:

	$ ./manage.py runserver

Set up your Django site

-----------------------

For some features, e.g. user registration to work properly, it is necessary to

set up a Django site, go to http://localhost:8000/admin/sites/site/1/ and edit

the appropriate domain and display name (use the super user account created

earlier to log in).

If you don't have a site defined in your database and django wants to reference it, you will need to create one.

From a python manage.py shell :

	$ from django.contrib.sites.models import Site

	$ new_site = Site.objects.create(domain='foo.com', name='foo.com')

	$ print new_site.id

Now set that site ID in your settings.py to SITE_ID

Set up the special group

------------------------

Edit your local settings.py for ECOBASA_SPECIAL_COSINNUS_GROUP to point to the

primary key of the special group every pioneer will become a member of and

whose blog posts are exposed. You will have to do that after setting up the

group in the admin interface.

We use LESS - CSS has to be compiled

------------------------------------

You can use grunt with node.js. Package.json will install all necessary dependencies, just type

	$ npm install

If you then type grunt, there is a watcher running that automatically compiles the less of static/sass/main.scss to static/css/main.css
