Installation

• Clone the repository: hg clone http://lmfdb.googlecode.com/hg/ lmfdb
• Install dependencies, i.e. you need Sage. Inside the Sage environment sage -sh:

    easy_install -U flask
    easy_install -U flask-login
    easy_install -U pymongo
    easy_install -U flask-markdown
    easy_install -U flask-cache

• From the command-line:

    sage -i gap_packages

(should check if we really need gap_packages.)

    sage -i database_gap 

• Regarding MathJax: No longer necessary to install MathJax, because it is downloaded from their CDN directly!
• old and obsolete info: get the latest release or beta, i.e. v1.1+, extract, and put the resulting MathJax directory as lmfdb/static/MathJax in your lmfdb repo.)
• MongoDB: port forward boxen to get full database:

  ssh -C -N -L 37010:localhost:37010 boxen.math.washington.edu

(if "boxen" doesn't work, try "mod")

• -C for compression of communication
• -N to not open a remote shell, just a blocking command in the shell (end connection with Ctrl-C)

If you don't have access to this server, you can temporarily start your own mongodb server and use it locally. There is no data (obviously) but it will work.

• Mongo locally:

    mongod --port 40000 --dbpath [db_directory] --smallfiles 

Note: Inside Sage, you might have to update the setuptools first, i.e. easy_install -U setuptools

Optional Parts

• dirichlet_conrey.pyx:
1. goto its github page -- download dirichlet_conrey.pyx and setup.py
2. run: sage setup.py install
3. if it doesn't compile, update sage's cython and then try again:
1. sage -sh
2. easy_install -U cython
3. exit

• Memcache:
1. easy_install -U python-memcached or even better and only possible if you have the dev headers: easy_install -U pylibmc
2. install memcached (e.g. apt-get install memcached )
3. run the service at 127.0.0.1:11211

Running

Once everything is setup, sage -python website.py --debug should do the trick, but there can be some problems running in debug mode, so you might have omit the --debug. Once the server is running, visit http://localhost:37777/

If you use a local MongoDB instance, specify its port: sage -python website.py --debug --dbport 40000

Sharing Your Work

• Create a clone webpage by clicking on the Create a Clone button here.
• Push your code to the clone. (WARNING: This requires that the _ssl module built correctly into Sage if you use Sage's hg.)
• Tell the lmdb mailing list that you have some new code!
