SFM Mac notes:

Install postgres and python using homebrew:

$ brew install postgres python

Install virtualenv:

$ pip install virtualenv

The virtualenv install guide I read (http://hackercodex.com/guide/python-development-environment-on-mac-osx/) recommended setting these environment variables:

# pip should only run if there is a virtualenv currently activated
export PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV=true
# cache pip-installed packages to avoid re-downloading
export PIP_DOWNLOAD_CACHE=$HOME/.pip/cache

Setup postgres database:

$ initdb /usr/local/var/postgres -E utf8
$ pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/log/postgres.log start
$ createdb sfm
$ createuser sfm -P
Enter password for new role: ********
Enter it again: ********

Test connecting to postgres:
$ export PGPASSWORD=xyz
$ psql -U sfm -d sfm

Then start sfm readme:

$ git clone git://github.com/gwu-libraries/social-feed-manager.git
$ cd social-feed-manager
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages ENV
$ source ENV/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ cd sfm/sfm
$ cp local_settings.py.template local_settings.py

Create a twitter app
Edit sfm/sfm/local_settings.py and add twitter keys
Edit sfm/sfm/wsgi.py

Setup db:
$ cd social-feed-manager/sfm
$ ./manage.py syncdb
$ ./manage.py migrate

Edit edit social-feed-manager/sfm/sfm/apache.conf
	/PATH/TO -> /Users/escowles/src/social-feed-manager
	YOUR/VENV -> ENV
	YOUR-HOST-NAME -> melendor.local

Install apache config
$ sudo cp sfm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/other/
$ sudo apachectl restart

Start server and open sfm in a browser:
$ ./manage.py runserver
$ open http://localhost:8000/
