    $ sudo easy_install virtualenv

    ....

    $ git clone https://user@code.grnet.gr/git/synnefo synnefo

    $ virtualenv --python=python2.6 synnefo --no-site-packages

    $ ./bin/python manage.py runserver

Notes

------

1) On ubuntu systems: 

        sudo aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libcurl3-gnutls-dev

2) jQuery.ajax POST is not working unless you edit lib/python2.6/site-packages/piston/utils.py. 

   On def content_type change:

        ctype = self.request.META.get('CONTENT_TYPE', type_formencoded)

    to 

        ctype = self.request.META.get('CONTENT_TYPE', type_formencoded).split(";")[0]

3) On Ubuntu 10.04 (tested by mgogoulos) you'll have to install zmq-static with:

        sudo aptitude install uuid-dev 

        ./bin/pip install pyzmq-static

4) Also see README.DB, which describes setting up a DB with various backends.

5) The checkout directory name "synnefo" is mandatory

6) In Mac computers with Snow Leopard, you may have a problem installing pycurl. Remember to set 64-bit arch when you install it.

    env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" ./bin/pip install pycurl

Testing

-------

The functional ui tests require the Selenium server and the synnefo app to be running.

    $ wget http://selenium.googlecode.com/files/selenium-server-standalone-2.0b2.jar

    $ java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.0b2.jar &

    $ ./bin/python manage.py runserver &

    $ ./bin/python manage.py test ui

Test coverage

=============

In order to get code coverage reports you need to install django-test-coverage

   $ ./bin/pip install django-test-coverage

Then edit your settings.py and configure the test runner:

   TEST_RUNNER = 'django-test-coverage.runner.run_tests'
