You will need the following softwares:

• Python 3
• Vagrant
• VirtualBox
• Git

Vagrant and VirtualBox are optional (but recommended) if you use Linux. Those two software will be used to create a virtual machine on which you will run the website. This machine is will be running Ubuntu 20.04, and Vagrant is used to script the installation of requirements on it. The following instructions assume you have installed all the softwares listed above. For Mac users, VirtualBox won't run on the new M1 chips(i.e. M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max) so follow the instructions below for Mac users.

At the end of those instructions, you should be able to run a local version of the website.

1. Fork the repository on GitHub. Let's assume you have created a new repository called mobilitains in /Documents/mobilitains.

2. Use the cd command to change the current directory to the repository. E.g. : cd /Documents/mobilitains/

3. Use vagrant up --provision to create the virtual machine. This can take some times depending on your internet connection. It creates an Ubuntu environnement with all requirements to run the website (Django etc.).

4. Use vagrant ssh to connect to the virtual machine. You can check that if your terminal displays vagrant@ubuntu-focal:~$ .

5. Use cd /vagrant/ to move to the website directory. You can find the website's code in this folder.

6. Enter the vagrant's virtual environnement by using source venv.vagrant/bin/activate. You can confirm it works by seeing the (venv.vagrant) vagrant@ubuntu-focal:/vagrant$ in your terminal.

7. Enter the website's directory by using cd transport_nantes/transport_nantes. Your current directory should now be (venv.vagrant) vagrant@ubuntu-focal:/vagrant/transport_nantes/transport_nantes$

8. Create a file called settings_local.py and fill it with the content of settings_local.py.DEV.template. This file isn't tracked on GitHub, so you can edit it without affecting the repository. It's mandatory to create this file in order to run the website. The content of settings_local.py.DEV.template is a base that defines the settings for the development environment.

9. Go one folder up using cd .. , you're current directory should now be (venv.vagrant) vagrant@ubuntu-focal:/vagrant/transport_nantes$

10. You're ready to run the website, you can use python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 to run the server. If you open your browser at http://localhost:8000/ or 0.0.0.0:8000, you should see the website. However at this point, you should see a message saying you have X unapplied migrations in your console, and a 404 error.

Indeed, even though your configuration is fine, you don't have the database created yet.

1. Fork the repository on GitHub. Let's assume you have created a new repository called mobilitains in /Documents/mobilitains.

2. Use the cd command to change the current directory to the repository. E.g. : cd /Documents/mobilitains/.

3. Create a python virtual environment in the mobilitains folder with python -m venv venv. Activate the environment with source venv/bin/activate and clone your forked repo to mobilitains.

4. Use cd to change directory to tn_web. E.g. : cd /Documents/mobilitains/tn_web. Install project dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt. If this doesn't work install dependencies manually. E.g. : pip install django, pip install requests, etc.

5. Create a folder for yor logs in your root folder. Let's assume you created a new folder mbt_logs in /mobilitains/mbt_logs. Next, create a tn_web.log file inside the mbt_logs folder. E.g. : /mobilitains/mbt_logs/tn_web.log.

6. Enter the website's directory by using cd transport_nantes/transport_nantes. Your current directory should now be mobilitains/tn_web/transport_nantes/transport_nantes.

7. Create a file called settings_local.py and fill it with the content of settings_local.py.DEV.template. This file isn't tracked on GitHub, so you can edit it without affecting the repository. It's mandatory to create this file in order to run the website. The content of settings_local.py.DEV.template is a base that defines the settings for the development environment.

8. In settings_local.py, above the LOG_DIR variable, create a path variable and add your file path to the mobilitains directory. I.e. path = "/Users/name/Documents/mobilitains". Next, replace the path in the LOG_DIR variable with os.path.join(path, "mbt_logs/").

9. Go one folder up using cd .. , you're current directory should now be /mobilitains/tn_web/transport_nantes.

10. You're ready to run the website, you can use python manage.py runserver to run the server. If you open your browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000/, you should see the website. However at this point, you should see a message saying you have X unapplied migrations in your console, or some kind of database error on the live site.

Indeed, even though your configuration is fine, you don't have the database created yet.

1. Start by running the python manage.py migrate command. You should now see a new file named db.sqlite3 in your current directory.

2. Run python manage.py createsuperuser to create a superuser, you will use this to connect to Django's admin interface.

The database is set but still empty. Let's display a "Hello, world!" message in the landing page of your local version of the website !

3. Run python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 to run the server.

4. Open your browser at http://localhost:8000/admin or 0.0.0.0:8000/admin. You're facing Django Admin's interface. Use the credentials you created to connect to it.

The landing page is an instance of an app named "topicblog", however because your database is empty, you will also need to create 1 item before you can see the landing page :

5. Edition of the landing page [todo]
   Congratulations, you customized your first page on the website ! You can now see it at http://localhost:8000/ or 0.0.0.0:8000/ !
