It uses a lot of fun software to work, but unfortunatelly some of them are not packaged yet. This README file will help you installing them and the `thank' software itself.

• python-flask
• python-pyexiv2
• python-imaging
• mongodb-server
• python-mongoengine
• libjs-jquery
• libjs-openlayers
• libjs-jquery-form
• libjs-jquery-fancybox
• ruby-compass

First of all, I suggest you to install the `npm' package. It will make it painless to install the following packages:

• sass (https://github.com/visionmedia/sass.js)
• clean-css (https://github.com/GoalSmashers/clean-css)

To procced with the installation, just issue the following commands:

$ npm install sass
$ npm install clean-css

It will probably complain that your ~/bin dir is not in your PATH if you don't have one, but it will not break anything.

After checking out the source code, you have to copy the conf.py.sample to conf.py. In this file, you'll be able to choose the database name that messages and pictures will be stored. If the already set name (dad) is ok to you, just go ahead.

We're using mongodb in this app. It makes our life really easier. You don't actually need to change anything to make things happen.

Anyway, it's worth to check if the choosen name will not screw with an already running service in your computer and we are ready to go!

We're not using css directly in this app. All styles are being defined in the sass language. So, before running the app, you have to compile the sass files, use the following:

$ compass compile dad/static

If you aim to help the project sending patches, maybe it would be good to start a watcher that will compile sass files when they change. To do it, use it:

$ compass watch dad/static/

Currently, you just have to issue:

$ python app.py

You'be informed about the host and port being used by the embedded HTTP server provided by flask, so you can just point your browser to that URL and hopefully, you will be in front of our work.

To get the source code, please clone it from our temporary git repo:

$ git clone http://comum.org/~lincoln/imago.git/
