Quick Start
===========
This guide will create a new app/project. It assumes you already
have, and are somewhat familiar with, Python and PostgreSQL (or
MySQL).
NB. the name "poser" is a stand-in, use whatever name you like for
your app/project.
First make and activate a virtual environment::
python3 -m venv /path/to/envs/poser
source /path/to/envs/poser/bin/activate
You may need to upgrade pip and friends, depending on the age of your
python::
python -m pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
Install the core Rattail package, with 'db' extra::
pip install rattail[db]
Create the PostgreSQL user and DB::
sudo -u postgres createuser -P poser
sudo -u postgres createdb -O poser poser
Or if using MySQL instead::
sudo mysql -e "create user poser@localhost"
sudo mysql -e "alter user poser@localhost identified by 'THEPASSWORD'"
sudo mysqladmin create poser
sudo mysql -e "grant all on poser.* to poser@localhost"
Make your app project::
rattail -n make-project /path/to/src/poser
Your project comes with its own command, to install and configure a
new app instance::
cd /path/to/envs/poser
bin/poser -n install
You should now be able to run the web app::
cd /path/to/envs/poser
bin/pserve --reload file+ini:app/web.conf
By default you can browse it at http://localhost:9080
Don't forget to ``git commit`` the project etc.
