#How to setup machine to use cfarm#
#OSX and Unix#
First we need to setup a stable python platform for python, this means getting pip the python package manager, and virtual env which isolates projects python libraries.
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install virtualenv
Next we need to create a new virtual env of python for cfarm. I personally like to setup in my cfarm source directory a folder call env. This will hold the python libraries for cfarm. By the way, cfarm natually has the env folder in the source directory part of its .gitignore so don't worry about accidentally committing your env to the git repo.
mkdir env
virtualenv env
Now we have virtual env folder setup!
Now all we have to do is setup the requirements for cfarm, which is super easy since we are using pip. Pip provides the ability to install all the requirements of a project ( http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/cookbook.html#requirements-files ). So lets go install cfarm's requirements.
env/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
And now your virtualenv has all of cfarm requirements and you can start developing!
Now to setup an alias to call cfarm:
<path_to_cfarm>/env/bin/python <path_to_cfarm>/cfarm.py $*
