This project contains the code for the iUTAH Modeling and Data Federation website - data.iutahepscor.org.
iUTAHData uses Django and Python 2.7.
Once you have cloned or downloaded the repository, install python dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt
When installing packages in requirements.txt you may get an error dealing with pyodbc.
Installing iODBC on your system should fix this error.
Linux/Debian
sudo apt-get install libiodbc2 iodbc msodbcsqlmacOS (using HomeBrew)
brew tap microsoft/mssql-release https://github.com/Microsoft/homebrew-mssql-release
brew update
brew install --no-sandbox msodbcsql@13.1.9.2 mssql-tools@14.0.6.0 unixodbcThis section is only applicable to systems running Unix or Linux.
Proceeding is not for the faint of heart.
It might be necessary to connect to the production database for development, testing, or deployment. The production database runs on a Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL). For developers working on a Unix system, you will need to configure FreeTDS on your system to connect to an MSSQL server.
FreeTDS is a set of libraries for Unix and Linux that allows your programs to natively talk to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases.
FreeTDS uses iODBC to communicate with the MSSQL production database from a Unix system.
Installing FreeTDS
Linux/Debian: sudo apt-get install freetds-bin tdsodbc
MacOS: brew install freetds
Configuring FreeTDS
Configure a Data Source Name (DSN) file, which is usually located at /etc/odbc.ini on linux. A DSN is a configuration file that tells iODBC how to connect to a database.
# /etc/odbc.ini
[iUTAH_Logan_OD]
Driver = ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server
Description = iUTAHDBS
Trace = No
Server = iutahdbs.uwrl.usu.edu
Database = iUTAH_Logan_ODImportant: The value for Driver will change depending on which version of msodbcsql you have installed. A quick way to check the version is:
~$: sudo apt-get list msodbcsql
Listing... Done
msodbcsql/xenial,now XX.A.B.C-D amd64 [installed]Replace the 13 in Driver = ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server with XX.
More information on this may be found in Microsoft's documentation for installing odbc driver for sql-server.
When FreeTDS and iODBC are configured properly, DataParser.py will automatically configure a connection string to connect to the database.
