Getting started with Forked Repo

[Chandni Joshi]

Hi everyone, 

I have a very basic question about how to get the forked Opal repo running on my local machine. I have used the pip install and got opal working but now I want to make changes and see if that reflects in the application. 

I have worked in Django python before, but here I am nor sure how to get the application started, I do see a setup file which I am not sure how to use.

Would we glad to receive any pointers on this. Please excuse me for such a basic question. 

Thanks

Hi, 

If I understand you correctly you have a working application and a local copy of the Opal git repository, and you would like your application to use this local version rather than a version installed from pypi via pip?

The steps would be:

In the python virtual environment that your application runs in

pip uninstall opal

python /path/to/your/local/copy/opal/setup.py develop

Your application should then be using the local copy of the git repo rather than a version from pip.

You can test it easily by running the Django runserver command, making a simple edit to a file in opal (for instance adding a blank line) and checking to see that the code reloader picks this up.

Best

David

I used the python setup.py develop command but I don't see a manage.py. So when I run this command - python manage.py runserver .. this is what I get - -

Impossible to tell from that image what's going on - for instance the following is the general setup - this creates a new project:

cd /tmp
mkvirtualenv application
pip install opal
opal startproject newapplication
git clone https://github.com/openhealthcare/opal
cd newapplication
pip uninstall opal
python ../opal/setup.py develop
python manage.py shell
echo "print('hello world')" >> ../opal/opal/__init__.py
python manage.py shell

Thanks David.
