Requires Python 3.5, recommended to run in a virtual environment (virtualenv, consider using virtualenvwrapper to manage your virtual environments)

• install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Requires PostgreSQL

• install PostgreSQL:

brew install postgresql

• create a db named pib: ex:

createdb pib

• connect to pib database with postgres user and create EXTENSION

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "uuid-ossp";

• install npm:

brew install node

• get packages (from root directory):

npm install

• Create a .env file in the root directory that contains just:

DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=pib.local_settings

• Build the front-end

npm run dev

• Activate your virtual environment

• Setup the db:

./manage.py migrate

• Create an admin account by running /manage.py createsuperuser

• Run:

./manage.py runserver

• You should find the site running on http://localhost:8000

• To login to the admin account go to http://localhost:8000/admin

• pib will look for a default curriculum named Default Curriculum, so in the admin create a curriculum titled Default Curriculum

• Then create a unit, module, lesson, and question, then navigate to /curriculum/ to see what you created!

Django apps:

• pib contains the project settings.
• curricula is the main app that produces the page at /curriculum/. The files apis.py and urls_api.py utilize the Django REST Framework to make an API for the models

The model hierarchy is:

• Curriculum (to test out the app make a curriculum called “Default Curriculum”)
• Unit
• Module
• Lesson
• Question

www.physicsisbeautiful.com and dev.physicsisbeautiful.com are hosted on Elastic Beanstalk.

To Setup:

• install AWS CLI (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html):

brew install awscli

• install AWS EB CLI (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/eb-cli3-install.html):

brew install awsebcli

• run aws configure
• run eb init (you'll need the access id/key
• on git develop branch run eb use pib-dev
• on git master branch run eb use pib-prod

To Deploy:

• eb deploy It will deploy to the proper environment depending on what branch you are on.

To save money, the dev environment will not always be up. To launch the dev environment, from the develop branch, run the following command:

eb create --branch_default --cfg pib-dev --timeout 40

Follow the directions, and use "pib-dev" instead of the default "physicsisbeautiful-dev".

This will take several minutes to run. If the command fails, you can try to run, eb deploy from the develop branch. Otherwise you may need to go on the aws console (Elastic Beanstalk) and rebuild the environment. The only other piece is that if you change the dns from pib-dev.us-east-1.elasticbeanstalk.com then you will need to go to the Google Domains and modify the DNS for dev.physicsisbeautiful.com to point at the new URL of the new dev environment.

Run eb deploy once the environment is up to get the latest version of dev running in the environment.
