Getting Up and Running Locally
|
||
==============================
|
||
|
||
.. index:: pip, virtualenv, PostgreSQL
|
||
|
||
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_.
|
||
|
||
.. _virtualenv: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/
|
||
|
||
Then install the requirements for your local development::
|
||
|
||
$ pip install -r requirements/local.txt
|
||
|
||
Then, create a PostgreSQL database with the following command, where `[project_slug]` is what value you entered for your project's `project_slug`::
|
||
|
||
$ createdb [project_slug]
|
||
|
||
You can now run the usual Django ``migrate`` and ``runserver`` commands::
|
||
|
||
$ python manage.py migrate
|
||
$ python manage.py runserver
|
||
|
||
At this point you can take a break from setup and start getting to know the files in the project.
|
||
|
||
But if you want to go further with setup, read on.
|
||
|
||
(Note: the following sections still need to be revised)
|
||
|
||
Setting Up Env Vars for Production
|
||
-----------------------------------
|
||
|
||
`Cookiecutter Django` uses the excellent `django-environ`_ package, which includes a ``DATABASE_URL`` environment variable to simplify database configuration in your Django settings.
|
||
|
||
Rename env.example to .env to begin updating the file with your own environment variables. To add your database, define ``DATABASE_URL`` and add it to the .env file, as shown below:
|
||
|
||
.. parsed-literal::
|
||
|
||
DATABASE_URL="postgres://*<pg_user_name>*:*<pg_user_password>*\ @127.0.0.1:\ *<pg_port>*/*<pg_database_name>*"
|
||
|
||
.. _django-environ: http://django-environ.readthedocs.io
|
||
|
||
Setup your email backend
|
||
-------------------------
|
||
|
||
django-allauth sends an email to verify users (and superusers) after signup and login (if they are still not verified). To send email you need to `configure your email backend`_
|
||
|
||
.. _configure your email backend: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/email/#smtp-backend
|
||
|
||
In development you can (optionally) use MailHog_ for email testing. MailHog is built with Go so there are no dependencies. To use MailHog:
|
||
|
||
1. `Download the latest release`_ for your operating system
|
||
2. Rename the executable to ``mailhog`` and copy it to the root of your project directory
|
||
3. Make sure it is executable (e.g. ``chmod +x mailhog``)
|
||
4. Execute mailhog from the root of your project in a new terminal window (e.g. ``./mailhog``)
|
||
5. All emails generated from your django app can be seen on http://127.0.0.1:8025/
|
||
|
||
.. _Mailhog: https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog/
|
||
.. _Download the latest release: https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog/releases
|
||
|
||
Alternatively simply output emails to the console via: ``EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'``
|
||
|
||
In production basic email configuration is setup to send emails with Mailgun_
|
||
|

**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 a little bit of `prep work`_.
