Quick Start
===========
This should get you up and running with a custom Rattail app within minutes.
(For a more thorough treatment see the `Rattail Tutorial`_.)
.. _Rattail Tutorial: https://rattailproject.org/docs/rattail-tutorial/
Go to the `Rattail Demo`_ and generate a new "rattail" type project. You must
login to get access; use "chuck" / "admin" for credentials.
.. _Rattail Demo: https://demo.rattailproject.org/generate-project
Name your project whatever you like. The default is "Okay-Then" so we'll
assume that here. You should download a zip file, e.g. ``okay-then.zip`` which
contains the project files. Extract it somewhere convenient; we'll use
``~/src/okay-then``::
mkdir -p ~/src
unzip ~/Downloads/okay-then.zip -d ~/src
Your local PostgreSQL service should be available, and user (named ``rattail``)
and DB (named ``okay-then``) created::
sudo apt install postgresql
sudo -u postgres createuser -P rattail
sudo -u postgres createdb -O rattail okay-then
Make and activate a virtual environment; e.g. ``/srv/envs/okay-then``::
mkdir -p /srv/envs
python -m venv /srv/envs/okay-then
source /srv/envs/okay-then/bin/activate
With the virtual environment active, run the development bootstrap script::
python ~/src/okay-then/dev/bootstrap.py
