Start by forking the repository on Github. Point your browser to http://github.com/decause/bizlegfoss and then click the "Fork" button in the top right corner of the page.
Before you can do anything with this (run the webserver locally, or any of the scripts) you'll need to setup and activate a python virtualenv. Run the following at the command prompt...
If you don't have virtualenv installed yet, try::
$ sudo easy_install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
If you're using a distro like Fedora or Ubuntu, you should try this instead::
Fedora:
$ sudo yum install python-virtualenv
Ubuntu/Debian:
$ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
Once you have virtualenv installed, you will install be able to run::
$ cd code
$ git clone [email protected]:YOUR_USERNAME/bizlegfoss.git
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages -p python2 bizlegfossenv
$ . bizlegfossenv/bin/activate
At the windows command prompt::
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages -p python2 bizlegfossenv
$ bizlegfossenv/Scripts/activate.bat
In msysGit or git-bash::
$ git clone [email protected]:YOUR_USERNAME/bizlegfoss.git
Back in the windows command prompt::
$ cd bizlegfoss
Once you've forked the repo, and activated your virual environment, you can pip install the courseware that serves up the content of the course. Simply run::
$ pip install ofcourse
Once you've pip installed Ofcourse, you can then type::
$ ofcourse run
Which should run the courseware at http://127.0.0.1:5000
