    • Linux: $ sudo apt install direnv

    • Restart your terminal
    • $ make .envrc
    • $ direnv allow

Data

Generate some representative sample data for manual test:

 $ createdb elections_dev
 $ make data

Or, Docker option:

docker run --rm -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD -e POSTGRES_USER=$USER -e POSTGRES_DB=elections_dev -p 5432:5432 postgres

The default Django admin credentials are admin:password.

Local Development

Now you should be able to run the Django client on your local machine. Enter $ make run in your terminal, then go to your browser and visit http://localhost:8000/. If everything is working correctly, you should be able to see the Michigan Elections API.

Advanced Cases

If your database gets into a weird state, you can reset it from scratch:

$ make data/reset

You can also download production with valid Heroku credentials:

$ make data/production
