Setting up the server locally

To create a local development setup of the care backend and frontend projects, perform the following steps.

Care Backend

• Install PostgreSQL on your machine. The instructions for the same can be found at https://www.postgresql.org/download/

  • Change the authentication method to md5 instead of peer. The instructions for the same can be found in this StackOverflow Answer

• Install the GDAL and Geos libraries. ( This is required because Care Uses a PostGis database Connection by default, this is to power location fields which can be later be used for better location-based queries ) On Debian/Ubuntu systems, run sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev libgeos-dev python-dev

• Clone the project: $ git clone https://github.com/coronasafe/care

• $ cd care

• Create a virtual environment: $ virtualenv -p $(which python3) venv

• $ source venv/bin/activate

• $ pip install -r requirements/local.txt

• Set the DATABASE_URL environment variable for your Postgres database. ( By default it expects a database with the name "care", only change this variable if your database is named something else )

• Run the database migrations: $ python manage.py migrate

• Create a superuser: $ python manage.py createsuperuser

  $ python manage.py runserver

• The project should be running at http://localhost:8000 API Specs are available at http://localhost:8000/redoc and http://localhost:8000/swagger

Care Frontend

• Make sure you have Node v10 or above installed on your machine.

• Clone the project: $ git clone https://github.com/coronasafe/care_fe

• $ cd care_fe

• $ git checkout master

• $ npm install

• $ npm run start

The project should be running at http://localhost:4000 In order to connect the backend to the frontend, modify proxy target for /api in webpack.config.js
