Setting up on OSX

Setup system dependencies

Install homebrew

Install system depdendencies:

$ brew install python
$ brew install libevent
$ brew install postgresql
$ brew install rabbitmq
$ brew install libxml2 libxslt
$ brew install heroku-toolbelt
$ brew install mailhog
$ sudo gem install foreman

(Optional) Launch postgresql and rabbitmq at launch:

$ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
$ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.rabbitmq.plist

If pip is not already available, install it:

$ sudo easy_install pip

Install python utilities:

$ sudo pip install virtualenv

Set up DB:

$ createdb mysite_db
$ createuser mysite_user
$ psql -U <username> -d mysite_db
# Create extensions and grant privileges as in 'Getting Started'

Set env variables and hosts, see Getting Started

Install repo

OSX's file system is by default case-sensitive, which causes problems. To get around this, let's set up a disk image with a case sensitive file system and use that to run spool:

  • Open Disk Utility
  • Make a new image using New Image in the top toolbar
  • Select the following options:
    • Name: your choice, say atomicsylv
    • Size: 500MB (don't worry about this, sparse disk images grow as necessary)
    • Format: Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
    • Encryption: your choice
    • Partitions: Single partition - GUID Partition Map
    • Image Format: sparse disk image
  • Save the image somewhere, say ~/dmgs

Let's mount this image so we can install spool on it:

$ mkdir ~/volumes
$ hdiutil attach -mountroot ~/volumes/ ~/dmgs/atomicsylv.sparseimage
$ cd ~/volumes/atomicsylv

Install spool: see install repo section of Getting Started

If installing local requirements fails, try this workaround first:

  • Open requirements/common.txt
  • Comment out gevent requirement
  • $ sudo pip install gevent
  • $ sudo pip install -r requirements/local.txt

Run:

$ foreman start #run both web and celery worker
