Maker Network

developer quickstart

install through your package manager or with easy_install:

create a virtualenv for the maker network

mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages maker-network

get the code from github (https://github.com/tsaylor/Maker-Network) and cd into the top level directory.

from inside your virtualenv install the requirements using pip and the requirements file

pip install -r requirements.pip

Now cd into the project directory and create your local_settings.py file. You can probably just rename the example file.

mv local_settings.py.example local_settings.py

Now you're ready to run the development server

python manage.py runserver

When testing, use these email settings in local_settings.py

EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost' EMAIL_PORT = 1025

Then run this command in a terminal window to receive any emails sent by your app

python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025
