1. Install Docker
2. Follow steps in the "Run development server" section below.

• cd student_explorer
• docker-compose down; docker-compose build; docker-compose up -d
• Browse to http://localhost:2082/
• Login as individual advisors using their lower-case first name as username/password (e.g.: burl/burl)
• Student with useful data: http://localhost:2082/students/grace/

For the Django Debug Toolbar to work in development, please add the following in student_explorer > local > settings_override.py

• INSTALLED_APPS += ('debug_toolbar',)
• MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES += ('debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',)
• DEBUG_TOOLBAR_PATCH_SETTINGS = False
• INTERNAL_IPS = ['10.0.2.2']

By default manage.py looks for the student_explorer.local.settings_override module. This file is created manually as documented in the setup steps above.

By default wsgi.py (which is used by start.sh) looks for the student_explorer.settings module. This file is versioned as part of this repository.

This behavior can be changed for both manage.py and wsgi.py by setting the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable.
