Development Environment Setup Instructions (OSX)

Setup Server

Step 1. Check python version, it should be 2.7.x

$ python --version
Python 2.7.10

Step 2. Install Postgres with brew, create Postgres database, and run the Postgres upon startup:

$ brew install postgresql

In case of failing initdb during install, change the ownership of the postgres dir, and re-run postinstall to make initdb work:

$ sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local/var/postgres  
$ brew postinstall postgresql

If all went fine, start the service:

$ brew services start postgresql

Step 3. Install PostGIS and connect to database:

$ brew install postgis
$ psql postgres

Step 4. Create Postgres user and PostGIS required extensions:

# CREATE ROLE postgres WITH superuser login;
# CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
# CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;
# CREATE EXTENSION fuzzystrmatch;
# CREATE EXTENSION hstore;
# \q

Modifiy the base template so all newly created test databases will have hstore extension:

$ psql -d template1 -c 'CREATE EXTENSION hstore;'

Step 5. Install Redis:

$ brew install redis

Step 6. Clone EquiTrack repository

$ git clone https://github.com/UNICEFLebanonInnovation/EquiTrack.git .
$ git checkout etools

Step 6. Install VirtualEnv and VirtualEnvWrapper, create Virtual Environment and load Python packages

$ pip install --upgrade pip  # cryptography install fails due to openssl problems in case of pip 7.x
$ pip install virtualenv
$ pip install virtualenvwrapper
$ export WORKON_HOME=~/Envs
$ export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python2.7
$ mkdir -p $WORKON_HOME
$ source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
$ mkvirtualenv env1
$ pip install -r EquiTrack/requirements/local.txt

Step 7. Set environment variables:

$ export REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0
$ export DATABASE_URL=postgis://postgres:password@localhost:5432/postgres

Step 8. Migrate database schemas and create database superuser

You may need to drop and recreate the database to start from scratch:

$ dropdb -U postgres postgres
$ createdb -U postgres postgres

Then migrate the database and add the user:

$ source ~/.virtualenvs/env1/bin/activate
$ python manage.py migrate_schemas --fake-initial --noinput
$ python manage.py createsuperuser --username=etoolusr

Load Default Data

Import the test data:

$ bzcat db_dumps/pg_backup1_27-07-16.bz2 | sudo -u postgres nice pg_restore --verbose -F t -d postgres

Assign the test country (UAT) to the user:

$ source ~/.virtualenvs/env1/bin/activate
$ python manage.py shell
Python 2.7.10 (default, Oct 23 2015, 19:19:21)

>>> from users.models import UserProfile, Country, Office, Section
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> user = User.objects.get(id=1)
>>> userp = UserProfile.objects.get(user=user)
>>> country=Country.objects.get(name='UAT')
>>> userp.country = country
>>> userp.country_override = country
>>> userp.save()

Run Server

$ source ~/.virtualenvs/env1/bin/activate
$ export DATABASE_URL=postgis://postgres:password@localhost:5432/postgres
$ python EquiTrack/manage.py runserver 8080

http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/login/

Setup Debugger (PyCharm)

Step 1:

Once the project is loaded in PyCharm go to menu -> PyCharm - > Preferences -> Project
Make sure your project is chosen
Select the python interpreter present inside of the virtualenvironment

Step 2:

Go to menu -> PyCharm - > Preferences -> Languages & Frameworks -> Django
Select your project and:
- enable Django Support
- Set Django Project root
- choose base.py as the settings file
- add all of the previously mentioned environment vars

Step 3:

Go to menu -> Run -> Edit Configurations
Add Django Server and name it.
In the Configuration make sure to add the environment variables again
Choose the python interpreter (The interpreter inside of the virtual environment)
Choose a working Directory

Step 4:
