The Archimedeans

The Archimedeans website, written in Django

Usage

First setup venv. You can do this with

$ python3 -m venv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate

Then make sure you have Python and Django installed, then you can run

$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py createsuperuser # Follow the prompts
$ python manage.py runserver

You will also need to put the files in static at the root of the web server, so that they are not handled by Django

There is also a seed.py file which can be used to initialize the members, events and committee databases (though eventually we will migrate to doing proper backups).

To setup the static files, you will need to run

$ . venv/bin/activate
$ python manage.py collectstatic

If the public_html directory has not been setup, then you will also need to make some symbolic links to stop everything breaking. You can do this with

$ ln -s ./static/files ./files
$ ln -s ./static/data ./data
$ ln -s ./static/lecturenotes ./lecturenotes
$ ln -s ./static/images ./images
$ ln -s ./static/committees ./committees
