The software you'll need

• Subversion
• Python (at least 2.4)
• Django (development version)
• ImageMagick
• MySQL
• pyMySQLdb

Getting the Guide code

svn co https://videobomb.com/svn/channelguide2/trunk miroguide

You won't be able to make checkins, but you can make patches to send using:

svn diff -u > here-are-my-changes.diff

Setting up MySQL

I won't go into setting up MySQL.

Setting up Django

svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@6051 django cd django python setup.py build python setup.py install (you may have to do this step with sudo)

Setting up the Guide

cd miroguide cp channelguide/sitespecific.py.template channelguide/sitespecific.py

You'll want to edit channelguide/sitespecific.py to fill in all the "FILL ME IN" parts.

If you don't have an SMTP server running, you'll probably want to comment out channelguide/guide/util.py:173-174

python channelguide/manage.py syncdb (sets up the database)

To run the Guide

python channelguide/manage.py runserver (runs a development HTTP server on http://localhost:8000)
