OpenHouseNS: Development

Follow the instructions in the Python Quick Start Guide to install Homebrew (if OS X), Git, Python and virtualenvwrapper.

mkvirtualenv openhousens
git clone git@github.com:opennorth/openhousens.git
cd openhousens

Install the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

If pylibmc fails to install, you may need to export CFLAGS="-std=c99".

Create a database (dropdb openhousens if it already exists):

createdb openhousens
python manage.py migrate --noinput

If you have Ruby, install the foreman gem:

gem install foreman

And start the web app as it would on Heroku:

foreman start

Otherwise, you can start the web app with:

python manage.py runserver

Import Popolo data

Import organizations, people, posts and memberships:

python manage.py load_popolo http://openhousens-scrapers.herokuapp.com/

Import a directory:

python manage.py load_akomantoso --commit --instance=default --dir=akoma_ntoso/

Import a directory filtered by date. Filenames must be date-based:

python manage.py load_akomantoso --commit --instance=default --dir=akoma_ntoso/ --start-date=yyyy-mm-dd

Import a file:

python manage.py load_akomantoso --commit --instance=default --file=akoma_ntoso/2011-11-03_11-38.xml

Rebuild the ElasticSearch index:

python manage.py rebuild_index --noinput

We don't set HAYSTACK_SIGNAL_PROCESSOR = 'haystack.signals.RealtimeSignalProcessor' as it causes timeout errors in development.
