Development Notes

Below are some notes on how to get your development environment setup and how to get ready to contribute code.

Setting up your development environment

Install requirements:

• VirtualBox - https://www.virtualbox.org
• Vagrant - http://www.vagrantup.com

Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/hamster-dev/hamster-core

Startup and provision the development VM:

$ cd hamster-core
$ vagrant up

Assuming that went well, you can now login to the VM:

$ vagrant ssh

Initial setup of the virtualenv and site:

$ mkvirtualenv hamster
$ cd /vagrant
$ pip install -Ur hamster/requirements.pip
$ python manage.py syncdb --migrate

... and start up the site:

$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

You should see it running at http://localhost:9000
