To launch the application issue following commands

export DEDELER_SETTINGS='settings.py'
export APP_KEY='XXX'
export APP_SECRET='XXX'
export MONGO_URI='mongodb://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/tweetmore'
export ENV='dev'
python runserver.py

• If you are in development medium then you can choose not to set MONGO_URI so mongo uses localhost
• Optionally, you can set WATERMARK_TEXT to display a litte watermark-footer message to each image.

Note that export ENV='dev' should only be used in development environment and in prod it should be left blank.

mongo on lxc: sudo -u mongodb mongod --smallfiles --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb/

To set env. variable on Heroku

heroku config:set DEDELER_SETTINGS='settings.py'
heroku config:set APP_KEY='XXX'
heroku config:set APP_SECRET='XXX'
heroku config:set MONGO_URI='mongodb://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/tweetmore'

Note that you need to uncomment the line app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=port) in runserver.py if you are not using Heroku.

# generate messages.pot file
pybabel extract -F babel.cfg -o messages.pot .

# generate a translation for a language, for example Turkish(tr)
# note that you need to remove fuzzy word from generated language translation
pybabel init -i messages.pot -d translations -l tr


# compile translations
pybabel compile -d translations

# update translations
pybabel extract -F babel.cfg -o messages.pot .
