Tech Notes

• Ranker uses Postgresql as database engine. All necessary migration files are included.

• (provided for portability) Django i18n compiled file .mo is included in the repo. Dont forget to recompile it with $ ./manage.py compilemessages if updating translations. gettext utility is needed for this (sudo apt install gettext).

Local installation steps:

1. Install Python 3.9
2. Create virtual environment and install packages with $ pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Install node.js and then packages with $ npm install
4. Build assets with $ npm run build
5. Create Postgresql database, change database name and user/password in settings if needed. Default value for database, user and password is ranker
6. Migrate the database:

$ ./manage.py migrate
$ ./manage.py createsuperuser
$ ./manage.py createcachetable  # caching is enabled for leaderboard
$ ./manage.py createdemo  # to load demo data

7. Use $ ./manage.py runserver or deploy with 3rd party web server
8. Use superuser account at /admin to manage the database content and to save new match results.
