This document provides instructions for installing and running rhizome.org locally for development. Caveats: ArtBase, search and payment processing don't work locally. Powered by Django.
Mac OS X users, use homebrew and get the latest version of XCode command line tools:
xcode-select --install
Install the following packages:
brew install libjpeg python virtualenv
homebrew works best when all warnings generated by homebrew doctor are fixed.
pull down the code
$ git clone https://github.com/rhizomedotorg/rhizome.org.git
configure
$ cd path/to/rhizome.org/
$ cp rhizome/local_settings_example.py rhizome/local_settings.py
open local_settings.py and set SECRET_KEY to some string, (docs), the default DATABASES configuration should work fine.
In repo director:
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
install project dependencies
hold your breath!
pip install -r requirements.txt
OS X users may need to this for PIL compilation to succeed in the previous step:
export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments
export CPPFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments
sh sysop_roll_db.sh
$ cd /path/to/rhizome.org
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ python manage.py runserver
navigate to http://localhost:8000
ignore these errors (at any point you see them):
