To get your own instance of OpenHatch running, follow these simple steps: |
|||
== 1. Clone our git repository == |
|||
You will need to have the ''git'' version control system installed. Once you do, type this into a terminal: |
|||
$ git clone git://code.openhatch.org/milestone-a.git |
|||
== 2. Read the README == |
|||
Once you change directory into the milestone-a directory: |
|||
$ cd milestone-a |
|||
and read the embedded README.mkd file. |
|||
$ less README.mkd |
|||
'''That''' is what we really keep up to date with the necessary things. |
|||
== 3. Run the tests == |
|||
We have automated tests that help us know when we've broken functionality in the OpenHatch code. Running the tests is a good way to make sure your OpenHatch environment works properly! Try this: |
|||
$ ./bin/sqlite_mysite test missions |
|||
That runs the test suite for just the ''missions'' part of the code. It uses the sqlite-based test runner so it runs fast; the real website uses MySQL, not SQLite, but you'll discover that tests run about 10 times faster in the sqlite runner. |
|||
== 4. Play with your local install == |
|||
Once you've gone through these steps, just visit your own OpenHatch instance on the web. You can start the server with: |
|||
$ ./bin/mysite runserver |
|||
and load up http://localhost:8000/ in your web browser. |
|||
== 5. Read more documentation == |
|||
