Django Bitcoin Penny Auction
============================

BitCoin Penny Auction System built purely in Django.

Getting Started
---------------

I'm assuming you have Python installed and using MAC OSX. It is preferable to have a virtual environment for the project libraries.
Also assuming you've git setup on your system.

Setting Up the Virtual Environment (skip this if you want to mess-up your python libraries :P)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're using pip to install packages (and I can't see why you wouldn't), you can get both virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper by simply installing the latter.

pip install virtualenvwrapper

After it's installed, add the following lines to your shell's start-up file (.zshrc, .bashrc, .profile, etc).

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/directory-you-do-development-in
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Reload your start up file (e.g. source .bashrc) and you're ready to go.

Creating a virtual environment is simple. Just type

mkvirtualenv penny

or If already created the Virtual Environment, just start the environment by typing

workon penny

Getting the App Running
-----------------------

Installing Python Packages and getting the app running is just like eating chocolate.

cd /path/where/you/want/your/project
git clone [email protected]:verdanmahmood/penny-auction.git
cd penny-auction/

Packages can be installed using pip command.
This command installs the packages in the requirement file.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Create the Database

python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py migrate


Inserting Test Data, below command will insert the test data.

python manage.py insert_test_data

This command will generate an admin user, 4 test users, some and some of the auction items.

Admin User : [email protected]
Admin Pass : 123456

Test User : [email protected] (up to [email protected])
Test Pass : 123456

Start the Server

python manage.py runserver

Once the server is up and running, Open a new terminal tab and make sure to run the following command to run the background process.

celery -A pennyauction worker -B
