The Accounting API

Dependencies
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Python >=3.3
|
||
|
|
- ledger version 3 (I have not tried with version 2.x)
|
||
|
|
- Python packages: Flask, etc. (install by running ``pip install -r
|
||
|
|
requirements.txt``)
|
||

|
||
|
|
GTK Client Dependencies
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To run the GTK client you need to have ``gi.repository`` avaiable in the python
|
||
|
|
environment, this means that if you use virtualenv to install the dependencies
|
||
|
|
of accounting-api you need to set it up with the ``--system-site-packages``
|
||
|
|
flag.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
Installation (i.e. Development Setup)
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
accounting-api does not yet have a method for end-user installation. This
|
||
|
|
section describes how you would set up accounting-api for development purposes,
|
||
|
|
which can also be used as an environment to try out the functionality of
|
||
|
|
accounting-api.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the sections below on how to install the dependencies. Then run the
|
||
|
|
following in your shell.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Get the source code
|
||
|
|
git clone git://gitorious.org/conservancy/accounting-api.git
|
||
|
|
cd accounting-api
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Set up the python 3.3 virtualenv (this will make the GTK client not work)
|
||
|
|
mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.3 accounting-api
|
||
|
|
# OR If you want the GTK client to work
|
||
|
|
mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.3 --system-site-packages accounting-api
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# If your terminal prompt does not say "(accounting-api)", run
|
||
|
|
workon accounting-api
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Install the python packages
|
||
|
|
pip-3.3 install -r requirements.txt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If all went well, head to :ref:`usage`. If not, head to the channel ``#npoacct``
|
||
|
|
on ``irc.freenode.net``.
