- Python 2.7.x
- PostgreSQL >=9.2 (needs the JSON data type)
- memcached
For example in the latest Ubuntu, this command will install pre-requisites:
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev python-virtualenv memcached \
postgresql-9.3 postgresql-client-9.3 postgresql-server-dev-9.3
It is recommended, although optional, to first set up a virtual environment and activate it:
$ virtualenv venv
$ . ./venv/bin/activate
Then use pip to install the required Python dependencies:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Copy over config.py.sample to config.py and edit its content to fit your
environment.
After you tweak configuration file, database needs to be created:
$ python manage.py init_db
Optional: You might want to create a database that will be used by tests:
$ python manage.py init_test_db
After all this, you can run the site/server using ./server.py.
Use ./server.py -h to get a list of command-line switches
to further suit your local environment (e.g., port, listening address, ...).
