Setting up a Pootle development instance
Pootle's installation instructions are on the Pootle wiki. Make sure to follow the (django-based) installation instructions, not the ones referring to jToolkit.
- have Python 2.4-2.6 installed (Mozilla is currently running 2.4 in production)
- grab an svn checkout of the Pootle trunk:
svn co https://translate.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/translate/src/trunk pootle... orgit svn clone -Ttrunk https://translate.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/translate/src/ pootle- if you are using
git-svn, make sure to generate an emptydbsdirectory, as git won't pick up empty directories [1]
- if you do not want to install Pootle's requirements into your global Python environment, create a clean, virtual Python environment for the application, using virtualenv. Note that this is not required, but may be helpful if you develop on multiple python-based projects
virtualenv --no-site-packages --python=path/to/python2.[4-6] pootle-envcd pootle-env/source bin/activate
- Install the prerequisites. Some notes:
- PyLucene and Xapian are not vital
- The translate toolkit is part of the Pootle project too, and while it comes with an svn checkout of the trunk you still need to install it:
cd pootlepython setup.py install
- Initialize the database by running the
./PootleServerscript once.- Note for OS X users: At this point you may get an error that lxml is not installed. Running
easy_install lxmldidn't work for me, but it might work for you. Instead what I had to do was download the lxml .tqz and then:tar -xvzf lxml-2.2.1.tgzcd lxml-2.2.1python setup.py build --static-depspython setup.py install
- The issue apparently is that lxml requires newer versions of the libxml and libxslt libraries than the system offers. Building from source with the --static-deps flag will force lxml to download the versions it needs and link against those. More details are available on the lxml website.
- Note for OS X users: At this point you may get an error that lxml is not installed. Running
- You can run the pootle server later by using
./manage.py runserver PORTNUMBER(if you omit PORTNUMBER, it'll default to 8000) [2]
