Family Tree Django Web App

Python Virtual Environment

This project requires Python 3.10 or later.

mkdir ~/virtualenv
virtualenv -p <path_to>/python3 ~/virtualenv/familytree
. ~/virtualenv/familytree/bin/activate

Before installing the requirements, ensure the pre-requisites for Pillow (a Python imaging library) are satisfied. On OS X run the following command to ensure X11 headers are available (assumes Xcode is installed):

xcode-select --install

On Ubuntu, install these libraries first to ensure JPEG support is included:

sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev libpng-dev

Then install the project-specific Python libraries:

pip install -r ~/familytree/requirements.txt

Database Setup (MySQL)

CREATE DATABASE familytree CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
CREATE USER 'familytree'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<db_password>';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON familytree.* TO 'familytree'@'localhost';
