meieraha2 2.2.2

Installation

Depending on how you obtain the package, you may install it in different ways. If the package was obtained as a source distribution, you should install it using pip:

$ pip install meieraha2-<version>.zip

If you checked out a development repository, you may install the package by running:

$ python setup.py install

If you are planning on developing the package, a useful alternative to installation is:

$ python setup.py develop

or, if you do not have write access to your Python installation and are not using a virtualenv:

$ python setup.py develop --user

Usage

The package contains a Flask-based web application. To launch the application you need to do the following:

1. Run:

   $ meieraha2-manage sampleconfig

2. Follow the instructions output by the command.

To create a packaged distribution you need to run the following:

$ meieraha2-manage assets build
$ python setup.py sdist

Development

In order to run the application in development mode you need to have a full repository checked out. You also should have the compass tool installed and accessible in your path. The server can then be run in development mode as follows:

$ export CONFIG=meieraha2.config.DevConfig
$ meieraha2-manage createdb
$ meieraha2-manage loaddata
$ meieraha2-manage runserver

If you edit CSS or Javascript files, you will need to rebuild the assets bundle via

$ meieraha2-manage assets build

Deployment

There is a starter Fabric configuration file fabfile.py which may help automate deployment. It needs tayloring before used, though. Sample deployment configuration is in deploy/aws.
