How to setup

Setting up EvalAI on your local machine is really easy. Follow this guide to setup your development machine.

1. Install git, postgresql version >= 9.4 and virtualenv, in your computer, if you don't have it already. If you are having trouble with postgresql on Windows check this link postgresqlhelp.

2. Get the source code on your machine via git.

   git clone https://github.com/Cloud-CV/EvalAI.git evalai

3. Create a python virtual environment and install python dependencies.

   cd evalai
   virtualenv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # run this command everytime before working on project
   pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

4. Rename settings/dev.sample.py as dev.py and change credential in settings/dev.py

   cp settings/dev.sample.py settings/dev.py
   

   Use your linux system username and password for fields USER and PASSWORD in dev.py file.

5. Create an empty postgres database and run database migration.

   createdb evalai
   python manage.py migrate --settings=settings.dev
   

6. That's it. Now you can run development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000 (for serving backend)

7. Open a new terminal window with node(6.9.2) and ruby(gem) install on your machine and type
