BE DAL

Thanks for checking out our repository. We love this project, hope you do too.

DO NOT RUN IN PRODUCTION. ONLY LOCALLY.

How to run this code

You need to install Python Programming Language, PIL, Git and/or SQLite3, MySQLdb.

    # installs python and PIL
    sudo apt-get install python python-imaging 
    # for sqlite
    sudo apt-get install python-pysqlite2 sqlite3
    # for mysql
    sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

Django

Try running this:

    sudo apt-get install python-django

If it does not work, download the latest version of django from here.

Git

    # download it !
    sudo apt-get install git-core

    # configure it !
    git config --global user.name "your_username"
    git config --global user.email [email protected]

    # clone the repo
    git clone git://github.com/be-dal/be_dal.git

    # change dir
    cd be_dal/

Configure

Open the python command line and type this:

    from random import choice

    print ''.join([choice('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*(-_=+)') for i in range(50)])

    # Copy the result.

From the root dir open settings.py with a text-editor (gedit, vim, emacs, or any other...).

    # Find this line:

    SECRET_KEY = ''

    # REPLACE IT WITH:

    SECRET_KEY = '[what_you_copied]'

Then if you are planning to use SQLite:

# In **settings.py** find the next lines:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': '',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': '',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': '',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
    }
}

# REPLACE IT WITH:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': 'db/db.db',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': '',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': '',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
    }
}

If you are planning to use MySQL:

# In **settings.py** find the next lines:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': '',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': '',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': '',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
    }
}

# REPLACE IT WITH:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': '[the database name]',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': '[mysql user]',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': '[mysql password]',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
    }
}

DO NOT FORGET CHANGING ALL THAT IS BETWEEN [text]

Sync the database and run the dev server

Go to the root dir from your terminal and run:

python manage.py syncdb

Say 'yes' if it asks you to create a superuser, otherwise, when syncdb is finished run:

python manage.py createsuperuser

We can now start the dev server, have fun and write awesome code !

# To start the dev server run from the root dir:
python manage.py runserver

# To use another port or IP run:
python manage.py runserver [the_ip]:[the_port]

# Example
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:5000

Now you can visit from your browser: http://localhost:8000/

Or: http://[the_ip]:[the_port]

HELP

root dir: It is when you go to be_dal/ directory

dev: development
