Docker¶

Assumptions¶

• You have docker installed and working on your system
• The user you are using has permissions to use docker

Create a virtualenv (optional)¶

Installing with virtualenv keeps your host environment clean, and separates your development environment from the host.

For example:

$ mkvirtualenv pootle
$ cd ~/virtualenvs/pootle

Clone the pootle repository¶

You most likely want to clone your fork of the pootle repository, so you can easily create Pull Requests for your changes.

(pootle): git clone git@github.com:$USER/pootle
(pootle): cd pootle/

Install host requirements¶

(pootle): pip install -r requirements/host.txt

Install the pootle database¶

The default installer will create a postgresql database with

(pootle): makey install-dev

This will take some time as it loads the default projects

Run the development server¶

Once Pootle is installed you can run the development server with

(pootle): makey runserver
