Development

Setup

Set up a Python2 virtualenv to manage Python dependencies
Source your virtualenv
Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install all dependencies
Install PostgreSQL to run a database locally
- If you're using Mac, install Postgres.app from here
Set three environment variables:
- DATABASE_URL points to the URL of a development database, which has to be set up using Postgres on your system. A sample DATABASE_URL could look like postgres://username:password@localhost/cog.
- QUILL is the URL to your Quill instance for auth.
- SECRET needs to be the same JWT secret used in your Quill instance.
Run python initialize.py
- This initializes the database - run it if you make any changes to the models and are fine with overwriting data.
