SCI-SIMS

Science Classroom Inquiry Simulation engine

Local Development

Note that this is a python2.7 application

Virtualenv is great for python development. Create a new environment:

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Or you can spin up a vagrant box using this tool if you don't already have a python environment set up on your system.
Note that the python server does not serve static assesets - a web server should be used to proxy requests to the server and server static files from the static folder.

Load the database with the simulation content:

python db_create.py
python sim_parser new_sim_template.txt

Start the application locally:

python start_local_dev.py

Open the simulation in your browser @ localhost:5000
