Learnanta

Lernanta is the new platform for P2PU. We are building on the codebase from Batucada, a rewrite of drumbeat.org by Mozilla.

Installation

You need a few prerequisites :

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev build-essential

To install Lernanta, you must clone the repository: :

git clone git://github.com/p2pu/lernanta.git

To get started, you'll need to make sure that virtualenv and pip are installed. :

sudo easy_install virtualenv
sudo easy_install pip

You'll also need to have mysql installed (mysql-client, mysql-server, libmysqlclient-dev).

I recommend using virtualenvwrapper to manage your virtual environments. Follow the installation instructions. Once installed, create your virtual environment for lernanta and install the dependencies :

cd lernanta
mkvirtualenv lernanta 
workon lernanta
pip install -r requirements/compiled.txt
pip install -r requirements/prod.txt
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

If you are doing an update, you might find it helps to delete pyc files: :

find . -name "*.pyc" | xargs rm

You should create a settings_local.py. Most people will be able to get away with the template provided. :

cp settings_local.dist.py settings_local.py

If the mysql database doesn't exist yet, create it. :

mysqladmin -u <user> -p create <database name>

Next, sync the database and run migrations. :

python manage.py syncdb --noinput --all

Finally, start the development server to take it for a spin. :

python manage.py runserver 

To run the test framework. :

python manage.py test

To recreate the test database before running the tests. :

FORCE_DB=True python manage.py test

After updating a database model you will have to make a migration for the change, then apply it. :

python manage.py schemamigration <appname> --auto
python manage.py migrate <appname>
