JaikuEngine

JaikuEngine is a social microblogging platform that runs on AppEngine. JaikuEngine powers Jaiku.com. For the mobile client source, see: Jaiku Mobile client

Dependencies

• Python 2.4 or 2.5
• Docutils: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/
• Mox: http://code.google.com/p/pymox/ version 0.5.1
• Everything else should be included in the checkout via svn:externals.
• If you're using Ubuntu you will need to install the pstats library which is in the python-profilers package.

Quickstart

1. Check out the repository (it's somewhat large due to image binaries): svn checkout http://jaikuengine.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ jaikuengine
2. Copy local_settings.example.py to local_settings.py
3. Run the server with some test data pre-loaded: python manage.py testserver common/fixtures/*.json
4. Browse to localhost:8080 and log in with popular/password

Getting Running

Jaiku uses the Django framework as well as most of its development process, so most actions go through manage.py.

To run the development server:

python manage.py runserver

But most of the time you'll be wanting to load some basic test data, this can be done with the testserver command (and specifying the data to load):

python manage.py testserver common/fixtures/*.json

Both of these will start a server running at http://localhost:8000.
