== developer quickstart ==
install through your package manager or with easy_install:
* virtualenv
* virtualenvwrapper
* pip
create a virtualenv for the maker network
<code><nowiki>
mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages maker-network
</nowiki></code>
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
<code><nowiki>
pip install -r requirements.pip
</nowiki></code>
Now cd into the project directory and create your local_settings.py file. You can probably just rename the example file.
<code><nowiki>
mv local_settings.py.example local_settings.py
</nowiki></code>
Now you're ready to run the development server
<code><nowiki>
python manage.py runserver
</nowiki></code>
==Useful stuff==
When testing, use these email settings in local_settings.py
<code><nowiki>
EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost'
EMAIL_PORT = 1025
</nowiki></code>
Then run this command in a terminal window to receive any emails sent by your app
<code><nowiki>
python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025
</nowiki></code>
