Online-Voting is an end-to-end verifiable voting system (which is inspired from the Helios Voting System).

Steps to follow:

• install PostgreSQL 9.5+

• install Rabbit MQ This is needed for celery to work, which does background processing such as the processing of uploaded list-of-voter CSV files.

• make sure you have virtualenv installed: http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/

• download helios-server

• cd into the helios-server directory

• install Python3.6 including dev, pip, and venv

sudo apt install python3.6 python3.6-venv python3.6-pip python3.6-venv

• create a virtualenv

python3.6 -m venv $(pwd)/venv

• you'll also need Postgres dev libraries. For example on Ubuntu:

sudo apt install libpq-dev 

• activate virtual environment

source venv/bin/activate

• install requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

• reset database

./reset.sh

• start server

python manage.py runserver

• to get Google Auth working:

** go to https://console.developers.google.com

** create an application

** set up oauth2 credentials as a web application, with your origin, e.g. https://myhelios.example.com, and your auth callback, which, based on our example, is https://myhelios.example.com/auth/after/

** still in the developer console, enable the Google+ API and Google People API.

** set the GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET configuration variables accordingly.

How to add the administrator user without connecting it with google or another external service

change the environment variable, to enable password authentication.

AUTH_ENABLED_AUTH_SYSTEMS=password

and then create your user/password using the way described in #222

echo "from helios_auth.models import User;
User.objects.create(user_type='password',user_id='${USER_EMAIL}',
info={'name':'${USER_NAME}','password':'${USER_PASS}'}, admin_p=True)" |
python manage.py shell
