Development Environment
|
||
|
|
=======================

Base System
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Development for Tailbone in particular is assumed to occur on a Linux machine.
|
||
|
|
This is because it's assumed that the web app would run on Linux. It should be
|
||
|
|
possible (presumably) to do either on Windows or Mac but that is not officially
|
||
|
|
supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Furthermore it is assumed the Linux flavor in use is either Debian or Ubuntu,
|
||
|
|
or a similar alternative. Presumably any Linux would work although some
|
||
|
|
details may differ from what's shown here.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Prerequisites
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Python
|
||
|
|
^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The only supported Python is 2.7. Of course that should already be present on
|
||
|
|
Linux.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It usually is required at some point to compile C code for certain Python
|
||
|
|
extension modules. In practice this means you probably want the Python header
|
||
|
|
files as well:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-dev
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pip
|
||
|
|
^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The only supported Python package manager is ``pip``. This can be installed a
|
||
|
|
few ways, one of which is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-pip
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
virtualenvwrapper
|
||
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While not technically required, it is recommended to use ``virtualenvwrapper``
|
||
|
|
as well. There is more than one way to set this up, e.g.:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-virtualenvwrapper
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main variable as concerns these docs, is where your virtual environment(s)
|
||
|
|
will live. If you install virtualenvwrapper via the above command, then most
|
||
|
|
likely your ``$WORKON_HOME`` environment variable will be set to
|
||
|
|
``~/.virtualenvs`` - however these docs will assume ``/srv/envs`` instead.
|
||
|
|
Please adjust any commands as needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PostgreSQL
|
||
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The other primary requirement is PostgreSQL. Technically that may be installed
|
||
|
|
on a separate machine, which allows connection from the development machine.
|
||
|
|
But of course it will usually just be installed on the dev machine:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get install postgresql
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Regardless of where your PG server lives, you will probably need some extras in
|
||
|
|
order to compile extensions for the ``psycopg2`` package:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
|
