Radio Helsinki Program Management

Installation

To get setup you must have the following installed:

• MySQL-Client Development libraries
• JPEG library development files
• Python 2.7 including Development files
• virtualenv 1.11

In Debian or Ubuntu (or derivatives) you should be able to achieve this with this command:

$ sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev libjpeg-dev python2.7-dev virtualenv

Setting up the environment

Create a virtual environment where the dependencies will live:

$ virtualenv -p python2.7 python
$ source python/bin/activate
(python)$

Change into the base directory of this software and install the project dependencies:

(python)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Setting up the database

By default the project is set up to run on a SQLite database.

Create a file pv/local_settings.py and add at least the line

SECRET_KEY = 'secret key'

(obviously replacing "secret key" with a key of you choice).

Then run:

(python)$ python manage.py migrate
(python)$ python manage.py loaddata program/fixtures/*.yaml

Adding an admin user

In order to create an admin user (which you will need to login to the webinterface after the next step) run:

(python)$ python manage.py createsuperuser

Running a web server

In development you should run:

(python)$ python manage.py runserver

After this you can open http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin in your browser and log in with the admin credential you created previously.
