Getting Up and Running Locally

|
||
Setting Up Development Environment
|
||
----------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Make sure to have the following on your host:
|
||
|
||
* Python 3.6
|
||
* PostgreSQL_.
|
||
* Redis_, if using Celery
|
||
|
||
First things first.
|
||
|
||
#. Create a virtualenv: ::
|
||
|
||
$ python3 -m venv <virtual env path>
|
||
|
||
#. Activate the virtualenv you have just created: ::
|
||
|
||
$ source <virtual env path>/bin/activate
|
||
|
||
#. Install development requirements: ::
|
||
|
||
$ pip install -r requirements/local.txt
|
||
|
||
#. Create a new PostgreSQL database using createdb_: ::
|
||
|
||
$ createdb <what you've entered as the project_slug at setup stage>
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
if this is the first time a database is created on your machine you might need to alter
|
||
a localhost-related entry in your ``pg_hba.conf`` so as to utilize ``trust`` policy, see the
|
||
`postgres documentation`_ for more details.
|
||
|
||
#. Set the environment variables for your database(s): ::
|
||
|
||
$ export DATABASE_URL=postgres://<project_slug>
|
||
# Optional: set broker URL if using Celery
|
||
$ export CELERY_BROKER_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
Check out the :ref:`settings` page for a comprehensive list of the environments variables.
|
||
|
||
.. seealso::
|
||
|
||
To help setting up your environment variables, you have a few options:
|
||
|
||
* create an ``.env`` file in the root of your project and define all the variables you need in it.
|
||
Then you just need to have ``DJANGO_READ_DOT_ENV_FILE=True`` in your machine and all the variables
|
||
will be read.
|
||
* Use a local environment manager like `direnv`_
|
||
|
||
#. Apply migrations: ::
|
||
|
||
$ python manage.py migrate
|
||
|
||
#. See the application being served through Django development server: ::
|
||
|
||
$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

||
Setup Email Backend
|
||
-------------------
|
||
|
||
MailHog
|
||
~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
.. note:: In order for the project to support MailHog_ it must have been bootstrapped with ``use_mailhog`` set to ``y``.
|
||
|
||
MailHog is used to receive emails during development, it is written in Go and has no external dependencies.
|
||
|
||
For instance, one of the packages we depend upon, ``django-allauth`` sends verification emails to new users signing up as well as to the existing ones who have not yet verified themselves.
|
||
|
||
#. `Download the latest MailHog release`_ for your OS.
|
||
|
||
#. Rename the build to ``MailHog``.
|
||
|
||
#. Copy the file to the project root.
|
||
|
||
#. Make it executable: ::
|
||
|
||
$ chmod +x MailHog
|
||
|
||
#. Spin up another terminal window and start it there: ::
|
||
|
||
./MailHog
|
||
|
||
#. Check out `<http://127.0.0.1:8025/>`_ to see how it goes.
|
||
|
||
Now you have your own mail server running locally, ready to receive whatever you send it.
|
||
|
||
.. _`Download the latest MailHog release`: https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog
|
||
|
||
Console
|
||
~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
.. note:: If you have generated your project with ``use_mailhog`` set to ``n`` this will be a default setup.
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, deliver emails over console via ``EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'``.
|
||
|
||
In production, we have Mailgun_ configured to have your back!

Sass Compilation & Live Reloading
|
||
---------------------------------
|
||
|
||
If you’d like to take advantage of live reloading and Sass compilation you can do so with a little
|
||
bit of preparation, see :ref:`sass-compilation-live-reload`.
