SETUP

How to get this project running on your machine.

1. Install Git.

   Open terminal (Mac) or command prompt (Windows) and check that it's installed:

   which git

   That should return a path (e.g., /usr/local/bin/git).

2. Install Python 3.

   Download the latest version of Python (which as of this writing is 3.6.3). The downloadable installer should work for any operating system: https://www.python.org/downloads/

   Once installed, check that it's installed:

   which python3

   That should return a path (e.g., /usr/local/bin/python3). If you're using Windows and get an error message, try using python without the 3.

3. Fork this repository. This creates a copy of the repository on your GitHub account.

4. Clone the git repository. This creates a copy of the repository's files on your machine.

   git clone [email protected]:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/wwc-website.git

5. Move into that repository. Depending on where you put it, you may have to cd into other folders first.

   cd wwc-website

6. Set up a Python virtual environment. A virtual environment (or virtualenv) isolates the project so that changes made to the project won't affect any others you're also developing.

   python3 -m venv venv

   Now activate the virtual environment. For Mac:

   source venv/bin/activate
   

   For Windows:

   venv\Scripts\activate
   

   You should see (venv) prefixed in front of your terminal prompt, letting you know the virtualenv is active.

7. Install the requirements using pip. pip is a tool for installing and managing Python packages. It is already installed if you downloaded Python 3 in step 2. It is also automatically installed if you created a virtual environment in step 6.

   You can make sure you have the latest version of pip with this command:

   pip install --upgrade pip

   If for some reason you don't have pip installed, follow these installation directions.

   Once you have pip, install the required packages like this:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

8. Run the app:

   python manage.py runserver

   You should be able to see the site at http://localhost:8000/.

   The admin dashboard is available at http://localhost:8000/admin.
