Django iCycle

iCycle is a smart inventory management system adjunct with a loyalty system that’s intended to promote a user to recycle non-degradable materials.

iCycle was designed, developed at a hackathon in a day that consisted of a mobile application built on MySQL, Django and QR technology.

The project is AWS ready and can be deployed in minutes.

PEP8 compatible coding style.
Doc strings for all the modules and their members. These doc strings are read by Sphinx and Swagger to create documentations.
DRY - All constants are kept in one place. Big complicated logic is broken down into small pieces/methods.

Following is the tech stack being used for main project:

Install python-pip

sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev git
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev

Install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper:

sudo pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
sudo pip install --upgrade pip

Create a backup of the .bashrc file
```
cp ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc-org
```
Create a directory to store all the virtual environments
```
mkdir ~/.virtualenvs
```
Set WORKON_HOME to virtual environments directory
```
export WORKON_HOME=~/.virtualenvs
```
Open bashrc file
```
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
```
Add the following line at the end of bashrc file:
```
. /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
```
Re-source terminal using the following command
```
source ~/.bashrc
```
Create new virtual environment
```
mkvirtualenv project
```
Activate the virtual environment
```
workon project
```

Clone the project

git clone https://eshan_scientist@bitbucket.org/scientisttechnologies/project_api.git

Rename project directory for consistency and cd
```
mv project_api/ project && cd project
```
Point the local settings file in the virtualenv postactivate hook
```
deactivate
sudo nano ~/.virtualenvs/project/bin/postactivate
```

Add the following line

...
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=main.settings.local

Remove the pointer once the env is deactivated

sudo nano ~/.virtualenvs/project/bin/postdeactivate

NOTE: Install the following dependencies before installing Pillow:

sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev

Install all the requirements

workon project
pip install -r requirements/local.txt

NOTE: If scipy installation throws MemoryError, add swap memory. Install htop and check

sudo /bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.1 bs=1M count=1024
sudo /sbin/mkswap /var/swap.1
sudo /sbin/swapon /var/swap.1
sudo apt-get install htop
