On Ubuntu 10.04. First, I set up a new virtual environment:

sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv

cd ~/Documents

mkdir virtual_environments

cd virtual_environments

virtualenv --no-site-packages formhub

source formhub/bin/activate

Second, I cloned the repo:

cd ~/Documents

git clone [email protected]:modilabs/formhub.git

Install the requirements:

cd formhub

pip install -r requirements.pip

Install Mongodb:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10

echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' >> /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install mongodb-10gen

If you don't already have a Java Runtime Environment installed this is necessary for running ODK Validate. A *.jar file used to validate XForms.

sudo apt-get install default-jre

To create a database for your development server do the following:

python manage.py syncdb

python manage.py migrate

And now you should be ready to run the server:

python manage.py runserver

To run all tests enter the following:

python manage.py test

To run the tests for a specific app, e.g. main, enter:

python manage.py test main

To run the test for a specific class in a specific app, e.g. the class TestFormErrors in main, enter:

python manage.py test main.TestFormErrors

To run the test for a specific method in a specific class in a specific app, e.g. the method test_submission_deactivated in the class TestFormErrors in main, enter:

python manage.py test main.TestFormErrors.test_submission_deactivated

• odk_logger - This app serves XForms to ODK Collect and receives submissions from ODK Collect. This is a stand alone application.
• odk_viewer - This app provides a csv and xls export of the data stored in odk_logger. This app uses a data dictionary as produced by pyxform. It also provides a map and single survey view.
• main - This app is the glue that brings odk_logger and odk_viewer together.
