Getting started

First, if you haven't already, add an SSH key to your GitLab account. Then, clone this repository (via ssh) to a local directory:

$ git clone [e-mail]:MaCS/OSS/shrunk.git

Backend

Note: Prior to beginning the main installation of Shrunk, WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) users will likely need to install additional packages first.

Set up a virtual environment for the backend and install the python dependencies with:

$ cd backend/
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages --python="python3" venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install wheel
$ pip install -r backend/requirements.txt
$ pip install -r backend/requirements-dev.txt

you need to make a copy of the example config and setup a local mongodb

$ cd backend
$ ./setup.py build_sphinx

This will place the Shrunk developer manual in ./build/sphinx/html. Open the file index.html in that directory to learn how to finish setting up the backend and setting up the frontend by reading the tutorials linked therein!

Docs

The backend docs are written with reStructuredText. Here's a cheatsheat to quickly get started with it.
