The following commands are intended for an Ubuntu Linux system and may need to be adjusted for your individual setup.

; Get basic packages
:<code>sudo apt-get install default-jdk ant git libyaml-dev</code>

Now, get Django set up. There are three ways to do this:
; 1) Just use apt-get
: <code>sudo apt-get install python-django python-scipy python-numpy python-matplotlib</code>

; 2) Use pip
:<code>sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libblas-dev liblapack-dev
:sudo pip install django scipy numpy matplotlib</code>

;3) Use pip to install packages in a virtual environment (good for servers running multiple apps)
:<code>sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libblas-dev liblapack-dev
:sudo pip install virtualenv
:mkdir ~/envs
:virtualenv ~/envs/tgenv --no-site-packages
:cd ~/envs/tgenv
:source ./bin/activate
:pip install django
:pip install numpy
:pip install scipy
:pip install matplotlib
:pip install nltk</code>
Note that any time you want to execute code in the virtualenv, you need to run <code>source ./bin/activate</code> first.

The third method seems to work more reliably across platforms.

; Grab the Topical Guide code and switch to the <code>dev</code> branch
: <code>git clone https://github.com/BYU-NLP-Lab/topicalguide.git
: cd topicalguide
: git fetch origin dev:dev
: git checkout dev</code>

; To use MySQL instead of default SQLite3 (recommended if you're deploying to the Web)
: In <code>topic_modeling/settings.py</code> change <code>DBTYPE='sqlite3'</code> to <code>DBTYPE='mysql'</code>.

; Import the default dataset
: <code>./run_import.py</code>

; Run the development server
: <code>./run_server.sh</code>

Point your browser to the address printed by <code>run_server.sh</code> and you should be able to browser the Topical Guide.
