Creating a Python virtualenv

Create a Python 3.x virtualenv either using the venv tool or using the great virtualenvwrapper toolset. Assuming the latter, once installed, simply do:

mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 city-infrastructure-platform

The virtualenv will automatically activate. To activate it in the future, just do:

workon city-infrastructure-platform

Creating and updating requirements

• Run prequ update

Installing Python requirements

• Run pip install -r requirements.txt
• For development also run pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Prepare the database

Enable PostGIS extension for the default template

sudo -u postgres psql -d template1 -c "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS postgis;"

Create user and database

sudo -u postgres createuser -P -R -S city-infrastructure-platform  # use password `city-infrastructure-platform`
sudo -u postgres createdb -O city-infrastructure-platform city-infrastructure-platform

Allow user to create test database

sudo -u postgres psql -c "ALTER USER city-infrastructure-platform CREATEDB;"

Django configuration

Environment variables are used to customize configuration in city-infrastructure-platform/settings.py. If you wish to override any settings, you can place them in a local .env file which will automatically be sourced when Django imports the settings file.

Copy .env.example file as .env: cp .env.example .env
