Running
=======

- Install all dependencies listed above. You might want to use a
  [virtualenv](http://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/).

- Create an SQL database with the `cache` and `cache_data` tables defined by
  [earwigbot-plugins](https://github.com/earwig/earwigbot-plugins/blob/develop/tasks/schema/afc_copyvios.sql).

- Create an earwigbot instance in `.earwigbot` (run `earwigbot .earwigbot`). In
  `.earwigbot/config.yml`, fill out the connection info for the database by
  adding the following to the `wiki` section:

        _copyviosSQL:
            host: <hostname of database server>
            db:   <name of database>

  If additional arguments are needed by `oursql.connect()`, like usernames or
  passwords, they should be added to the `_copyviosSQL` section.

- Copy `.lighttpd.conf` to the relevant location (on Tool Labs, this is in the
  root of the project's home directory) and adjust its contents as necessary.

- Run `./build.py` to minify JS and CSS files.

- Adjust the hashbang in `app.fcgi` to point to the correct Python interpreter
  or virtual environment.

- Start lighttpd (on Tool Labs, `webservice start`).
