Setting up

virtualenv

Install the latest version of virtualenv. You can get it from here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv

Clone the repo (or pull if haven't pulled after the django app was introduced.) We assume you've cloned it to a folder named $MATHGENIUS_HOME. Navigate to $MATHGENIUS_HOME and create a new virtual environment genius_env.

$> cd /path/to/$MATHGENIUS_HOME
$> virtualenv genius_env

Activate the environment:

$> source genius_env/bin/activate

You should see (genius_env) prepended to your prompt, indicating the environment has been activated. To test that you properly isolated your python environment, try pip freeze. It should only show 2 or 3 python packages that are installed installed by default, but at this point it should not show django.

Just for reference: You can type deactivate from anywhere to deactivate the environment.

Install dependencies

Navigate to $MATHGENIUS_HOME and install the required packages from requirements.txt

$> pip install -r requirements.txt

Set up database and initial migration

Navigate to the mathgenius directory where manage.py resides, and run the syncdb command:

$> python manage.py syncdb

It will prompt you to set up a root username and password. Comply.

We use south to handle databse migrations so that models can be easily changed. We need to set up the initial migration first:

$> python manage.py schemamigration --initial main_app
$> python manage.py migrate

The development server

The development server can be run with

$> python manage.py runserver_plus
