Getting Started

Core Dependencies

Project Comport is a Flask app. It uses Postgres for a database. Big thanks to the cookiecutter-flask for a great kickstart.

It is highly recommended that you use use virtualenv (and virtualenvwrapper for convenience). For a how-to on getting set up, please consult this how-to and make sure that you create a python3 virtual env. It is recommended that you use postgres.app to handle your Postgres (assuming you are developing on OSX).

Installation and Bootup

Installation and setup

Quick local installation

After you've created your python 3 virtualenv and activated it. Run the following:

mkdir comport
cd comport
git clone git@github.com:codeforamerica/comport.git
psql -c 'create database comport;'
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
python manage.py db upgrade
python manage.py server

If you see the flask development server running and the splash page at http://localhost:5000 you're good!
