    • C compiler e.g. gcc
    • uwsgi

    • the mod proxy uwsgi plugin for apache2

Python Requirements

Python requirements are listed in requirements.txt. They can be installed with pip using -r requirements.txt.

Development Setup

  • change into that directory cd AKPlanning
  • clone this repository git clone URL .

To start the application for development, in the root directory,

  1. activate virtualenv source venv/bin/activate
