Developing

Clone the repo

$ git clone git@github.com:alyssaq/tornado-examples.git

Install requirements or check that you have them installed with pip freeze:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

You may install requirements into a virtualenv. I recommend using virtualenvwrapper:

$ mkvirtualenv tornadoenv
$ workon tornadoenv
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ deactivate # Stop virtualenv when you are done
