Making a Local Version of the Site

---Last updated on 2017-10-26---

Steps to get the site up and running locally.

For the first time:

• Check out the project from GitHub and navigate to the root project directory

• Conda environment: install conda, and then use the environment.yml:

  conda env create -f environment.yml

• No need for requirements.txt as a result

• HAS to be Django 1.9.2: "conda install django==1.9.2"

• TODO -- Add Django 1.9.2 to the environment.yml file

• Also now because we merged the hamza-khan branch, do:

  pip install django-autocomplete-light

Then for every time:

• Run "source activate rmg_env" or whatever you named your Conda environment
• Let it load and then: python manage.py runserver and navigate to 127.0.0.1:8000
• Do NOT run anything as super-user
