Requirements

Needs Node.js and LESS to compile CSS during development. Grab Node.js from here, then run npm install -g less to install LESS.

After pulling and installing Node.js and LESS, run py -m venv venv from the main directory. Load the new virtual environment by running venv/Scripts/Activate, then run pip -r requirements.txt to install the required dependencies.

Needs database login credentials. Ask owner for details.

Run flags and arguments

Before running, load the virtual environment by running venv/Scripts/activate. To exit, run deactivate.

Running the launcher run.py from the command line gives several arguments to aid in development.

Most common launcher command is py run.py -dev.

-dev

Shorthand for -fr -less.

-test or -t

Runs the launcher in test mode. Does not start the webserver and does not compile LESS to CSS. Intended for launch configuration work.

-fr

Force remote. Skips a check for a local MySQL instance. Reduces startup time by virtue of avoiding a timeout.

port [port] or -p [port]

Specifies a port to run the webserver. Default is :80.

-log [level]

Specifies the logging level. There are currently three log levels:

1. info
2. debug
3. trace

-less

Specific flag for using LESS as opposed to compiling and using CSS.
