Brasil.com.vc is a GeoDjango application. We use PostGIS as our database, so you'll need to install some geospatial libraries, for that refer to the GeoDjango manual or follow the steps below.

Setup your PostGIS database:

0. Install your PostgreSQL environment. Although you can easily setup a PostGIS-enabled PostgreSQL database through your OS' package manager, we recommend using Docker for this:

   docker run -d -p 5432:5432 --name bcv_db jamesbrink/postgresql

1. Install Geospatial libraries on Linux or Mac OS X

2. Create the database:

   docker exec bcv_db psql -U postgres -c "create database bcv;"

3. Turn on PostGIS extensions:

   docker exec bcv_db psql -U postgres -c "create extension postgis;" bcv docker exec bcv_db psql -U postgres -c "create extension postgis_topology;" bcv

4. Export the DATABASE_URL environment

   export DATABASE_URL="postgis://postgres:@$(docker port bcv_db 5432)/bcv"

⚠️ Skip this section if you're setting up a production server.

1. Set up SpatiaLite on your system.
2. Set a new env var SPATIALITE_LIBRARY_PATH with your OS' library path.

Note the following:

• You should create the database using the SpatiaLite bin before running migrations.
• The built-in DATABASE_URL value expects a SpatiaLite database by default.

You must set up Node.js in order to make static files gathering and processing work.

1. Install Node + npm. For OS X using Homebrew: brew install npm
2. Install required packages: npm install npm will call bower after install

S3 is also supported as static server. To enable S3 support the following environment variables must be configured:

⚠️ when using S3 static backend you must use Python 2, reference.

• STATIC_BACKEND - Set this to s3 to enable S3 support
• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID - Your AWS access key ID
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - Your AWS secret access key
• AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME - Your bucket name
• AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN - Optional. A custom domain to be used
