1. git clone git://github.com/pythonkc/pythonkc.com.git

2. cd pythonkc.com/pythonkc_site

3. mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages --distribute pykc (you're using virtualenv, right? :))

4. pip install -r requirements/project.txt

5. Create local_settings.py, with:

   DEBUG = TEMPLATE_DEBUG = True
   # OPTIONAL  If you don't want to send emails while running locally:
   EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
   # Otherwise, you probably want emails you test with to come to you:
   CONTACT_EMAIL_TO = ['[email protected]']
   

6. Create a .env file with:

   #!/bin/sh
   export MEETUP_API_KEY="<your meetup.com API key>"
   export DJANGO_SECRET_KEY="<your secret key>"
   
   # if you're not using console.EmailBackend:
   export EMAIL_HOST_USER="<your email user>"
   export EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD="<your email password>"
   

7. Source your .env file: source .env.

8. python manage.py syncdb

9. python manage.py runserver

10. Profit!!!

Note that both local_settings.py and .env are in our .gitignore, so you don't commit what you do there.
