Developer Guide

Pre-requisites

• Vagrant
• Virtualbox
• Ansible(v2.2.1)

Setup

Clone both pari and pari-ansible repositories (ideally in the same parent directory).

$ git clone https://github.com/PARINetwork/pari.git
$ git clone https://github.com/PARINetwork/pari-ansible.git
$ cd pari
$ vagrant up   # You'll be prompted for SUDO password of your host machine for the first time.

Ansible 2.2.1

Make sure that you have installed Ansible 2.2.1. You can install Ansible 2.2.1 with the following command

$ pip install ansible==2.2.1

If, however, you have already installed some other version of Ansible you will need to uninstall it

$ sudo -H pip uninstall ansible
$ #OR
$ brew uninstall ansible # Only if you used homebrew to install ansible
$ pip install ansible==2.2.1
$ git checkout master
$ git pull 
$ rm -rf pari_env (if present)
$ vagrant destroy ( Delete the old version of the box )
$ rm -rf .vagrant (Delete old vagrant cache)
$ vagrant up

Development-specific commands

The above set-up will get the vagrant box up. That is, it will start the virtual machine that pretends to be a remote server at "development.ruralindiaonline.org". The django development server also will be started and available at the same URL. You should see a working PARI installation at http://development.ruralindiaonline.org.

To work with your django environment, you will need to login via ssh into this pretend-remote virtual machine and follow the following steps for this.

$ vagrant ssh                                     # Login to vagrant box
$ cd /vagrant && source ~/pari_env/bin/activate   # Change to project directory and activate project virtualenv
$ python manage.py runserver                      # Local instance available at development.ruralindiaonline.org

Admin console can be accessed at http://development.ruralindiaonline.org/admin/ (username: admin, password: admin)

$ python manage.py shell                        # Access django shell
$ python manage.py dbshell                      # Access postgres DB. Password: pari
$ python manage.py test --keepdb                # Run all the tests
$ deactivate                                    # Exit from project virtualenv
