Once you checked out the project, you need to configure it. This is done as follows: There is a file

genericConf.py

in the root directory, that contains all the configuration. Copy this file to conf.py and open conf.py for editing:

$ cp genericConf.py conf.py
$ vim conf.py

At the beginning of this file you find the section for site specific configuration. Set all the variables in there to values appropriate for your
site. Then save and exit the editor.

To run the tests, call tests/runAllTests.py.
