Creating a development environment
----------------------------------

1. Create a postgresql database for your ZooKeepr instance.

2. Create a virtualenv for your ZooKeepr instance.

        \# using only virtualenv
        virtualenv env --no-site-packages
        . ./env/bin/activate

        \# using virtualenwrapper
        mkvirtualenv zookeepr # --no-site-packages is default
        workon zookeepr  

3. Configure.

        cp zkpylons/config/lca_info.py.sample zkpylons/config/lca_info.py
        cp development.ini.sample development.ini
        python setup.py develop

    Edit development.ini to set sqlachemy.url to match your postgresql database.
    Note: You must set sqlachemy.url in both the [app:main] and [alembic] sections

4. Populate database. Run alembic to create and populate the initial database.

        alembic --config development.ini upgrade head
    
5. Run development server.

        pserve --reload development.ini
