Development Environment Setup

You will need the following:

• Python 2.7
• pip
• virtualenvwrapper
• sass - sudo gem install sass
• bower - sudo npm install -g bower
• git-lfs (this is used to store the large image files).

Start by cloning the repository:

$ git clone git@github.com:pyconca/2016-web.git
$ cd ~/2016-web

Install the static asset dependencies:

~/2016-web $ bower install

Create a python virtual environment:

~/2016-web $ mkvirtualenv pycon_web
(pycon_web) ~/2016-web $

The (pycon_web) prefix indicates that a virtual environment called "pycon_web" is being used. Next, check that you have the correct version of Python:

(pycon_web) ~/2016-web $ python --version
Python 2.7.12
(pycon_web) ~/2016-web $ pip --version
pip 8.0.2 from /Users/.../site-packages (python 2.7)

Install the project requirements:

(pycon_web) ~/2016-web $ pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt

Run the project:

(pycon_web) ~/2016-web $ python manage.py runserver

This should start a webserver @ 127.0.0.1:5000.

The root directory will return a 404 error. You have to specify a language code (e.x. 127.0.0.1:5000/en/ or 127.0.0.1:5000/fr/).
