Hacking HOWTO

This covers setting up a development environment for developing on ElasticUtils. If you’re interested in using ElasticUtils, then you should check out User’s Guide.

External requirements

You should have Elasticsearch installed and running.

Install dependencies

Run:

$ virtualenv ./venv
$ . ./venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
$ python setup.py develop

This sets up the required dependencies for development of ElasticUtils.

Note

You don’t have to put your virtual environment in ./venv/. Feel free to put it anywhere.
