It's recommended that you use a virtualenv:
$ virtualenv-2.7 ~/envs/hive --no-site-packages
$ source ~/envs/hive/bin/activate
Run MongoDB:
$ mongod
Clone repo and then install dependencies:
$ git clone https://github.com/publicscience/hive.git
$ cd hive
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Setup Flask configuration:
$ mv config-sample.py config.py
$ vi config.py
Run the Flask application:
$ python application.py
Check out the site at localhost:5000 (by default).
To run tests, do:
$ ./test
This sets the HIVE_TESTING env var up so the test database is used.
The app is setup to be deployed to Heroku.
You can use heroku_setup.sh as guidance for the terminal commands
needed to set it up.
The key here is that you need to setup Heroku environment variables for
all sensitive configuration options. The application will check for a
HEROKU environment variable, and if it is set, it will load the Heroku
configuration, which is set to automatically load these sensitive values
from env vars.
