Development

Set up a virtualenv:

source ./.venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Copy and modify the config file to your liking:

cp .env.example .env
cp Procfile.dev.example Procfile.dev

Set up the database:

mkdir -p tmp/postgres
initdb tmp/postgres
postgres -D tmp/postgres -p 5432
psql postgres -p 5432 -c "create user otvoreniakti with password 'otvoreniakti';"
psql postgres -p 5432 -c "create database otvoreniakti encoding 'utf8' template template0 owner otvoreniakti;"
psql otvoreniakti -p 5432 -c "create extension hstore;"
