Install the development environment:

$ pip install virtualenv  # might require sudo/admin privileges
$ git clone https://github.com/clld/clld.git  # you may also clone a suitable fork
$ cd ldh
$ python -m virtualenv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate.bat
$ pip install -r requirements.txt  # installs the cloned version with dev-tools in development mode

Then create a database:

$ su - postgres
$ createdb ldh

and initialize it, either

• loading a dump of the production DB, using the app's load_db task from the appconfig package
• or by running python ldh/scripts/initializedb.py development.ini (may require access to the appropriate data repository).

Now you should be able to run the tests:

$ pytest
