Setting up a development environment on Ubuntu ############################################## #. we need ``git`` and ``PostgreSQL`` installed. If not, do: .. code-block:: bash sudo apt-get install git docker postgres-client libpq-dev (libpqxx-devel on fedora) sudo docker pull postgres:9.6.9-alpine create PostgreSQL docker container: .. code-block:: bash docker run --name development-postgres -d -p 5432:5432 postgres:9.6.9-alpine make yourself a Postgres Superuser (in my case `russellballestrini`): .. code-block:: bash psql --host=localhost --port 5432 --username postgres --command \ "CREATE USER russellballestrini with SUPERUSER;" make the ``remarkbox`` database. .. code-block:: bash psql --host=localhost --port 5432 --username postgres --command \ "CREATE DATABASE remarkbox;" make the ``remarkbox_test`` database. .. code-block:: bash psql --host=localhost --port 5432 --username postgres --command \ "CREATE DATABASE remarkbox_test;" #. checkout the Remarkbox codebase: .. code-block:: bash cd ~ git clone https://russellballestrini@bitbucket.org/russellballestrini/remarkbox.git cd remarkbox #. install ``python-pip``: .. code-block:: bash sudo apt-get install python-pip #. use ``pip`` to upgrade ``pip`` and ``setuptools``: .. code-block:: bash sudo pip install --upgrade pip setuptools #. use pip to install ``virtualenv``: .. code-block:: bash sudo pip install virtualenv #. create a ``virtualenv``: .. code-block:: bash virtualenv env #. source the new ``virtualenv``: .. code-block:: bash . env/bin/activate #. install Remarkbox, using setuptool's in development mode: .. code-block:: bash python setup.py develop #. install dev and test dependencies: .. code-block:: bash pip install -r requirements-dev.txt pip install -r requirements-test.txt #. initialize the database schema: .. code-block:: bash remarkbox_init_db development.ini #. spin up the application server using ``waitress``: .. code-block:: bash pserve development.ini --reload Note: if you get an error about TemplateNotFound, you likely need to install the Remarkbox Meta theme. See readme-themes.rst for details.
