Working Environment

You have several options in setting up your working environment. We recommend using virtualenv to separate the dependencies of your project from your system's python environment. If on Linux or Mac OS X, you can also use virtualenvwrapper to help manage multiple virtualenvs across different projects.

virtualenv

Virtualenv Only

First, make sure you are using virtualenv. Once that's installed, create your virtualenv:

$ virtualenv --distribute gvaweb

You will also need to ensure that the virtualenv has the project directory added to the path.

virtualenvwrapper

Virtualenv with virtualenvwrapper

In Linux and Mac OSX, you can install virtualenvwrapper, which will take care of managing your virtual environments and adding the project path to the site-directory for you:

$ mkdir gvaweb
$ mkvirtualenv -a gvaweb gvaweb-dev
$ cd gvaweb && add2virtualenv `pwd`

pip, requirements, dependencies

Installation of Dependencies

Depending on where you are installing dependencies:

In development:

$ pip install -r requirements/local.txt

For production:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

celery, worker, file queue

Running the Celery worker

gvaweb uses the Celery distributed task queue system. The gvaweb logic is executed by a celery worker. After all dependencies are installed you can go into the gvaweb directory and run the celery worker with:

$ cd gvaweb
$ celery -A gvaweb worker -Q web -l info
