ElectTrick

Embeddable election dashboards and visualizations, powered by Django.

Requirements and Assumptions

This project's documentation and automated build tools assume a few things about your system:

• You have GNU-Make, GCC, Git, Python 2, NodeJS and NPM installed. On Ubuntu, running sudo apt-get install build-essential as a first step is highly recommended.
• You have VirtualEnv and VirtualEnvWrapper set up (for Python 2).
• You're using bash for your system shell and your shell sources ~/.bashrc on startup.

Setup and Installation

1. Clone this repository.
2. Make a virtual environment for ElectTrick, ideally called electtrick: mkvirtualenv electtrick
3. Install all the Python requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Set up your environment variables. The easiest way to do this is use the assistant that comes in the project makefile: make init
5. Source your .bashrc again to grab those environment variables: source ~/.bashrc
