Developer Installation
-----------------------
Getting up and running
----------------------
For getting this running on your local machine:
The steps below will get you up and running with a local development environment. We assume you have the following installed:
1. Set up a virtualenv.
2. Install all the supporting libraries into your virtualenv::
* pip
* virtualenv
* PostgreSQL
pip install -r requirements/local.txt
First make sure to create and activate a virtualenv_, then open a terminal at the project root and install the requirements for local development::
3. Install Grunt Dependencies.
$ pip install -r requirements/local.txt
npm install
.. _virtualenv: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/
4. Run development server. (For browser auto-reload, use Livereload_ plugins.)
You can now run the usual Django ``runserver`` command (replace ``yourapp`` with the name of the directory containing the Django project)::
grunt serve
$ python yourapp/manage.py runserver
.. _livereload: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-watch#using-live-reload-with-the-browser-extension
The base app will run but you'll need to carry out a few steps to make the sign-up and login forms work. These are currently detailed in `issue #39`_.
.. _issue #39: https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django/issues/39
**Live reloading and Sass CSS compilation**
If you'd like to take advantage of live reloading and Sass / Compass CSS compilation you can do so with the included Grunt task.
Make sure that nodejs_ is installed. Then in the project root run::
$ npm install
.. _nodejs: http://nodejs.org/download/
Now you just need::
$ grunt serve
The base app will now run as it would with the usual ``manage.py runserver`` but with live reloading and Sass compilation enabled.
To get live reloading to work you'll probably need to install an `appropriate browser extension`_
