Development

Assumptions

For clarity purposes regarding these instructions we are assuming the following

• You will be installing the program in /home/wger/wger

Requirements

Get the code

The code is available on Github:

$ git clone https://github.com/wger-project/wger.git

Create a virtual environment

It’s a best practice to create a Python virtual environment:

$ python3 -m venv venv-wger
$ source venv-wger/bin/activate
$ cd wger

Install Requirements

To install the Python requirements:

$ pip install -r requirements_devel.txt
$ npm install
$ npm install bower
$ python setup.py develop

Install application

To install the development server, init the database and create a settings file:

$ wger create_settings \
         --settings-path /home/wger/wger/settings.py \
         --database-path /home/wger/wger/database.sqlite
$ wger bootstrap \
         --settings-path /home/wger/wger/settings.py \
         --no-start-server

Start the server

To start the server:

$ python manage.py runserver

That’s it. You can log in with the default administrator user:

• username: admin
• password: admin

You can start the application again with the django server with python manage.py runserver.
