Install

If you're a Docker user, you can always download the latest build from the Docker Hub as chimecms/chime. Or if you'd like to work with the source:

1. Chime CMS is a Python Flask web application. Follow the instructions on Python Virtual Environments to prepare your Python development space. Make sure to use Python 2.7. Your commands may look something like:

• sudo pip install virtualenv
• virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 .venv
• source .venv/bin/activate

2. Install the project requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt

3. You will need a bare Github repository in the directory sample-site with an initial empty commit (this will become configurable in the future):

• mkdir sample-site
• cd sample-site
• git init
• git commit --allow-empty -m "First commit"

4. copy env.sample to .env

5. Run app using Honcho and the Procfile:

    $ honcho start
