Build Instructions

Application

For Linux, FreeBSD and MacOS users, run these commands:

1. First clone the project locally and then go into the directory

git clone https://github.com/Oinweb/fly-django.git
cd fly-django

2. Setup our virtual environment

MacOS Environment:

python3 -m venv env

FreeBSD Environment:

virtualenv env

3. Activate virtual environment

source env/bin/activate

4. MacOS USERS ONLY: If you are using Postgres.app, you’ll need to have pg_config setup in your $PATH. If you already have set this up, skip this step, else simply run this command in the console to set the path manually.

export PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin:$PATH"

5. Now lets install the libraries this project depends on.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Database

We are almost done! Just follow these instructions and the database will be setup for the application to use. Load up your postgres and enter the console. Then to create our database, enter:

MacOS Environment:

create database fly_db;
\c fly_db;
CREATE USER django WITH PASSWORD NULL;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE fly_db to django;
ALTER USER django CREATEDB;

FreeBSD Environment:

/usr/local/bin/dropdb fly_db;
/usr/local/bin/createdb fly_db;
/usr/local/bin/psql fly_db;
CREATE USER freebsd WITH PASSWORD NULL;

ALTER USER freebsd CREATEDB;

Static Files Hosting

Files are stored on a remote server. The service we are using is Amazon Amazon Simple Storage Service.

Email

Emails are handled by communicating with a third-party API-based emailing service. The service we are using is Mailgun.

Application + Database

Run the following commands to populate the database.

cd ../
python manage.py migrate
