Development

Getting Started

The simplest way to get started with development is to grab the ccav ansible playbooks and run them using the ansible tool against a blank Centos 6.4 x86_64 virtual machine using your preferred virtualization platform. The playbooks will install everything required to build, develop and deploy the application and ia always kept up-to-date for dependency testing and deployment purposes.

You may also follow these rough instructions to get up and running on Mac OS X with the Homebrew package management tool.

1. Install Homebrew:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"

1. Install python:

brew install python

1. Install numpy:

pip install numpy

1. Install gdal:

brew install gdal

1. Install freetype:

brew install freetype

1. Install mapserver:

brew install mapserver

1. Install virtualenvwrapper:

pip install virtualenvwrapper.sh

1. Make sure you have something like this setup in your bash profile:

#!/bin/bash

# Check if virtualenvwrapper.sh is available and source it
if $(which virtualenvwrapper.sh &> /dev/null); then
    source $(which virtualenvwrapper.sh)
fi

1. Create a new virtual environment:

mkvirtualenv --system-site-packages ccav

1. Clone the development repository:

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/ccaih/ccav

1. Bootstrap, build and run:

cd /path/to/ccav
./bootstrap.sh
fab develop
dev webui:dev=yes
ccav
