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:

1. Have a working version of python 2.6. or 2.7
2. Have python setup tools installed, ‘easy_install’ and ‘pip’
3. Have a working version of Django 1.3
4. Have the python-omhe library installed and on your python path
5. Have Python libraries installed to support Mongo DB.
6. 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
