The COIN project ================ `Coin` is Illyse's Information System, designed to managed subscribers. It is written in Django, and makes an heavy use of LDAP (for authentication, and to store configuration information). It currently only works with python2, because `python-ldap` is (as of 2013) not compatible with python3. Quickstart ========== Get yourself a virtualenv. On Debian, install `python-virtualenv`. On Archlinux, the package is called `python2-virtualenv`, and you must replace the `virtualenv` command with `virtualenv2` in the following. To create the virtualenv (the first time): virtualenv ~/tmp/venv-illyse To activate the virtualenv (you need to do this each time you work on the project): . ~/tmp/venv-illyse/bin/activate Install dependencies. On Debian, you will probably need the `python-dev`, `python-pip`, `libldap-dev`, `libpq-dev` and `libsasl2-dev` packages. sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip libldap2-dev libpq-dev libsasl2-dev Then run: pip install -r requirements.txt You should now be able to run `python manage.py` (within the virtualenv, obviously) without error. The `coin/settings_local.py` file is ignore by Git: feel free to override any setting by writing into that file. For example, to override the `DEBUG` settings: echo '# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-' > coin/settings_local.py echo 'DEBUG = TEMPLATE_DEBUG = True' >> coin/settings_local.py To sync database, the first time run : python manage.py syncdb --migrate You probably want to import some base data to play with: python manage.py loaddata offers ip_pool offers Then at each code update : python manage.py migrate More information ================ For the rest of the setup (database, LDAP), see https://www.illyse.org/projects/ils-si/wiki/Mise_en_place_environnement_de_dev
