Twittex

##What is Twittex? Twittex is a short messaging service (similar to Twitter) with finer privacy settings for use in a university environment. For a feature list check out our Github Wiki page.

##Guide to install Twittex

  1. Install Python
  2. Install Pip
  3. Install Django
  4. Install Git
  5. Install Pillow via Pip ($pip install pillow)
  6. Install Pyscss via Pip ($pip install pyscss)
  7. Install Psycopg2
  8. Download this repo ($git clone https://github.com/patreu22/Twittex/)
  9. Install PostgreSQL (Easy going for Mac: http://postgresapp.com/de/ , for other OS you have to take a deeper look)
  10. Run PostgreSQL
  11. Open PostgreSQL with $psql
  12. Run CREATE USER django PASSWORD 'django'
  13. Run CREATE DATABASE twittex_db OWNER django;
  14. Close Postgres and run $python manage.py migrate auth in manage.py folder of the Django Project
  15. Run $python manage.py migrate
  16. Start Twittex with $python manage.py runserverlocally. For making it accessible over your IP for everybody use $python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

That is the instruction for installing Twittex on a (Amazon) Ubuntu machine, for other systems you have to update the path for file storing in the settings.py.

Enjoy ;-)
