Installation
============

The code repository for RESTCat is resides on GitHub at

http://github.com/videntity/RESTCat 


You should have a working python installation and pip installed. You should also
install git. Note these instructions are for Ubuntu
Linux but should be similar for other platforms.  In a nutshell you want to:

#. Have a working version of python 2.6. or 2.7
#. Have python setup tools installed, 'easy_install' and 'pip'
#. Have a working version of Django 1.3
#. Have the python-omhe library installed and on your python path
#. Have Python libraries installed to support Mongo DB.
#. Have a working MongoDB database server version 1.8

The following commands should get you going in Ubuntu 10+:
::
    sudo apt-get install git-core python-setuptools mongodb
    sudo easy_install pip
    sudo pip install pymongo
    sudo mongodb
    
    
Be mindful to create and have write permission for the necessary data directories
for mongodb.

In another terminal window, type:
::
    git clone git@github.com:videntity/RESTCat.git
    sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
    python manage.py syncdb
    python manage.py runserver
