Local install
To install:
mkvirtualenv signalbox_virtualenv pip install signalbox bootstrap_signalbox newprojectname cd newprojectname chmod 755 app/manage.py pip install -r requirements.txt source local-environment-example.sh app/manage.py syncdb app/manage.py migrate app/manage.py runserver
Then open http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin to view the admin site on your development machine.
Hosted installation
To get it running on heroku’s free plan, install the heroku command line tool and sign up for an account with them (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/quickstart). Then inside the new directory created above:
git init git add -A git commit -a -m "initial commit" heroku apps:create YOURAPPNAME heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev git push heroku master source heroku-environment-example.sh heroku run app/manage.py syncdb heroku run app/manage.py migrate heroku apps:open # An now remember to add a scheduled task heroku addons:add scheduler heroku addons:open scheduler
You’ll want to add scheduled tasks for:
app/manage.py runtask send app/manage.py runtask remind app/manage.py cleanup
The frequency is up to you - more often can cost more in dyno time if it overruns the free quota (but not much).
