Settings
------------
{{cookiecutter.project_name}} relies extensively on environment settings which **will not work with Apache/mod_wsgi setups**. It has been deployed successfully with both Gunicorn/Nginx and even uWSGI/Nginx.
For configuration purposes, the following table maps the '{{cookiecutter.project_name}}' environment variables to their Django setting:

Getting up and running
----------------------
The steps below will get you up and running with a local development environment. We assume you have the following installed:
* pip
* virtualenv
* PostgreSQL
First make sure to create and activate a virtualenv_, then open a terminal at the project root and install the requirements for local development::
$ pip install -r requirements/local.txt
.. _virtualenv: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/
You can now run the usual Django ``runserver`` command (replace ``yourapp`` with the name of the directory containing the Django project)::
$ python yourapp/manage.py runserver
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`_
.. _appropriate browser extension: http://feedback.livereload.com/knowledgebase/articles/86242-how-do-i-install-and-use-the-browser-extensions-
It's time to write the code!!!
