Installation

Best to create a virtualenv to isolate Python environments:

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv

Then, activate your virtualenv and install all the requirements:

source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

If you've never worked with MongoDB before, here is a way to quickly get started with Homebrew:

brew update
brew install mongodb
sudo mkdir -p /data/db
sudo chown `id -u` /data/db
mongod

When you are done working with the project, deactivate the virtualenv (you can always re-activate later with source venv/bin/activate):

deactivate

Run it!

Simples:

python manage.py runserver
