Initial Testing, Development DB & Server¶

After you’ve installed the base environment, it’s time to run the tests and get an initial development db.

Important

Linux users: you can replace python manage.py with ./manage.py for less typing
Run the manage.py commands from the Open-Knesset directory, with the virtualenv activated.
If you used the c9.io worksapce, you should run the following command to get you in the write directory: cd oknesset/Open-Knesset/ && . ../bin/activate

Running Tests¶

cd Open-Knesset
python manage.py test

Download and extract dev.db.zip or dev.db.bz2 (bz2 is smaller). After unpacking, place dev.db in the `Open-Knesset` directory.

On c9.io (or similar linux environment) you can write the following code:

wget http://oknesset-devdb.s3.amazonaws.com/dev.db.zip
unzip dev.db.zip

To make sure everything is up to date, run the database schema migrations:

python manage.py migrate

You might want to create your own superuser:

On the c9.io environment there is a superuser preconfigured: admin / 123456

python manage.py createsuperuser

To run the development server:

python manage.py runserver

Once done, you can access it with your browser via http://localhost:8000 .
