Getting started with the OpenHatch code (moved): Difference between revisions

 

 

You will need to have the ''git'' version control system installed. Once you do, type this into a terminal:

It might take a while; it's kind of a big repository. (Like, a hundred megs.)

 

 

The repository is called '''milestone-a''' so you have to "cd" into it:

'''That''' is what we really keep up to date with the necessary things.

 

 

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:

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.

 

 

Once you've gone through these steps, just visit your own OpenHatch instance on the web. You can start the server with:

and load up http://localhost:8000/ in your web browser.
