Get the Project¶

To clone the project source from BitBucket type the following into the terminal:

cd ~/Projects
hg clone https://denisgomes@bitbucket.org/denisgomes/arackpy
cd arackpy

Setup virtualenv¶

It is recommended you install arackpy into a virtual environment before doing any development work. First install virualenvwrapper to manage your environments:

pip install virtualenvwrapper

Read the virtualenvwrapper documentation to learn more about how to source the initialization shell script to use the commands used below.

Next, create a virtual environment called spider and set the project directory:

mkvirtualenv spider
setvirtualenvproject

Finally, install the development dependencies and the project itself so that it is editable:

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e arackpy

That’s it! You are ready to make changes and push them to the development branch, but first read about how to contribute to the project.
