Getting set up

Depending on your environment, you may need to install some libraries. On Debian/Ubuntu, you will need to:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev

To get your Python environment properly set up, you can create a virtual environment and use the requirements.txt file to install the proper versions of various libraries.

# Navigate to a directory of your choosing, where you will store your virtual environment.
$ mkdir virtualEnvs
$ cd virtualEnvs
$ virtualenv hackIDE_venv # We need python2. If you are using 3 by default, type virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 hackIDE_venv
$ source ~/virtualEnvs/hackIDE_venv/bin/activate
$ cd /location/of/your/copy/of/hackIDE
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

How to run the server locally

To run the server locally, you will need to do two things:

1. Get a hackerearth API "Client Secret Key"
2. Change the hackIDE_project/settings.py file

Get a Client Secret Key

Go to https://www.hackerearth.com/api/register/, create a HackerEarth profile and register a URL. You can register http://google.com, for example. Then you will be provided with a Client Secret Key.

Change the hackIDE_project/settings.py file.

Change the ALLOWED_HOSTS line to

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*'] if not DEBUG else ['*']

Then, startup the server with:

$ python manage.py collectstatic
$ HE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_token_here python manage.py runserver

Then, you can connect to the site at 0.0.0.0:8000.

TODO

• Add "Download code as a zipped file" option
• Implement "Save code on cloud" feature
• Explain how to get a HackerEarth API key
• Implement profiling system allowing users to make their profiles and saving codes in their profiles
