A site to help you find other nearby people to trade Magic: The Gathering cards with.

Local Development Setup

1. pip install virtualenv if you don't already have it
2. cd tradebindr go to wherever you cloned the repo
3. virtualenv venv create a virtualenv
4. source venv/bin/activate activate the virtualenv
5. pip install -r requirements.txt to install all python dependencies
6. Install Postgres 9.3 or higher. On Mac it may be easier to use Postgres.app but I haven't tried it. I use the normal install from postgresql.org.
7. Create a database named tradebindr or whatever you want. You may need to create a postgres user other than the default user or at least set a password for the default user. I forget.
8. export DATABASE_URL=postgres://username:password@localhost:5432/database-name to set a necessary environment variable tradebindr will need to start up. Replace username, password, and database-name of course.
9. Next we will create the database tables. In the future I'll use Alembic migrations so this will be easier.
10. python to start a repl
11. from app import db so we can work with the db
12. db.create_all() to populate the database with tables
13. quit() we're done there
14. You did it! Run the app with python app.py
15. You should be able to go to http://localhost:5000
