Fiction generator/associated tools and front ends.

Installation

Recommended method:

N.B This has been tested on linux, and WSL. Python packages may be harder to instlal directly via windows.

1. Create a virtualenv

python -m pip install virtualenv #( if necessary )
python -m venv fictiongen_env

2. Activate virtualenv

Linux/WSL:

source ./fictiongen_env/bin/activate

Windows (CMD)

./fictiongen_env/Scripts/activate.bat

Windows (PS1)

./fictiongen_env/Scripts/activate.ps1

3. Navigate to fictiongen base directory, and install required python modules

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the local development environment but executing the following command on the base directory

python manage.py runserver

This should run the development server on a local device. A rough WSGI configuration is also included but will likely need tweaking.

A sample local_settings.py is included, but you may need to change some installation specific information, particularly if it is publically accessible
