How to set up a fresh project (on OS X)

1. Install homebrew, by getting the commandline tools: https://developer.apple.com/downloads and then do the install homebrew here: http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/
2. Open Terminal.app
3. Check python is installed by typing python
4. Install pip if you don't have it sudo easy_install pip
5. Use pip to install virtualenv (don't ask me why): sudo pip install virtualenv
6. Find a fresh place to checkout the project: git@github.com:whatsthehubbub/victoryboogiewoogie.git use the Mac client: http://mac.github.com/
7. In the terminal cd to where you just checked out the project, for instance: cd ~/Documents/projects/sake/victorycheckout
8. Create a virtual environment if you don't have one yet: virtualenv venv --distribute
9. Start a virtual environment: source venv/bin/activate
10. Install all the necessary packages: pip install -r requirements.txt
11. If you have never done so, setup the database: python manage.py syncdb, follow the instructions you get and note down the username and password that give you /admin access to the django site
12. Because we use south to create the tables for the application (and to update after model changes) you need to run: python manage.py migrate
13. Start the server with python manage.py runserver and go to your django at http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin

To restart the server simply repeat steps 9 and 13. To be up to date again always do: 9, 10, 12, 13.
