Getting started
===============
Using Vagrant
-------------
This is the recommended approach, and is tested on OS X 10.10 as well as Ubuntu 14.04.
If your host is OS X, download VirtualBox from <http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.3.30/VirtualBox-4.3.30-101610-OSX.dmg>. Then run:
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
If your host is Ubuntu 14.04:
sudo apt-get install vagrant lxc lxc-templates cgroup-lite redir
vagrant plugin install vagrant-lxc
vagrant up --provider=lxc
vagrant ssh
All versions, inside the container:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-pbs
cd /srv/zulip && python provision.py
To run the development server:
vagrant ssh -- -L9991:localhost:9991
# Now inside the container
cd /srv/zulip
source /srv/zulip-venv/bin/activate
./tools/run-dev.py
You can now visit <http://localhost:9991/> in your browser.
By hand
-------
Install the following non-Python dependencies:
* libffi-dev — needed for some Python extensions
* postgresql 9.1 or later — our database (also install development headers)
* memcached (and headers)
* rabbitmq-server
* libldap2-dev
* python-dev
* redis-server — rate limiting
* tsearch-extras — better text search
On Debian or Ubuntu systems:
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev memcached rabbitmq-server libldap2-dev redis-server postgresql-server-dev-all libmemcached-dev
# If on 12.04 or wheezy:
sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.1
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/283158365/zuliposs/postgresql-9.1-tsearch-extras_0.1.2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i postgresql-9.1-tsearch-extras_0.1.2_amd64.deb
# If on 14.04:
sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/283158365/zuliposs/postgresql-9.3-tsearch-extras_0.1.2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i postgresql-9.3-tsearch-extras_0.1.2_amd64.deb
# If on 15.04 or jessie:
sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.4
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/283158365/zuliposs/postgresql-9.4-tsearch-extras_0.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i postgresql-9.4-tsearch-extras_0.1_amd64.deb
# Then, all versions:
pip install -r requirements.txt
./scripts/setup/configure-rabbitmq
./tools/postgres-init-db
./tools/do-destroy-rebuild-database
To start the development server:
./tools/run-dev.py
… and hit http://localhost:9991/.
Running the test suite
======================
One-time setup:
./tools/postgres-init-test-db
./tools/do-destroy-rebuild-test-database
Backend tests:
./tools/test-backend
Frontend tests: TBD
Possible issues
===============
When running the test suite, if you get an error like this:
sqlalchemy.exc.ProgrammingError: (ProgrammingError) function ts_match_locs_array(unknown, text, tsquery) does not exist
LINE 2: ...ECT message_id, flags, subject, rendered_content, ts_match_l...
^
… then you need to install tsearch-extras, described above. Afterwards, re-run the init*-db and the do-destroy-rebuild*-database scripts.
