## Setting up
### Python version
At the moment we run Python 3.9 in production.
### NPM packages
```shell
brew install node
```
[NPM](npmjs.org) is Node's package management tool. `n` is a tool for managing different versions of Node. The following installs `n` and uses the long term support (LTS) version of Node.
```shell
npm install -g n
n lts
```
### `environment.sh`
In the root directory of the application, run:
```
echo "
export NOTIFY_ENVIRONMENT='development'
export FLASK_APP=application.py
export FLASK_ENV=development
export WERKZEUG_DEBUG_PIN=off
"> environment.sh
```
### AWS credentials
To run parts of the app, such as uploading letters, you will need appropriate AWS credentials. See the [Wiki](https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-manuals/wiki/aws-accounts#how-to-set-up-local-development) for more details.
## To run the application
```shell
# install dependencies, etc.
make bootstrap
# run the web app
make run-flask
```
Then visit [localhost:6012](http://localhost:6012).
Any Python code changes you make should be picked up automatically in development. If you're developing JavaScript code, run `npm run watch` to achieve the same.
## To test the application
```
# install dependencies, etc.
make bootstrap
# run all the tests
make test
# continuously run js tests
npm run test-watch
```
To run a specific JavaScript test, you'll need to copy the full command from `package.json`.
## To update application dependencies
`requirements.txt` is generated from the `requirements.in` in order to pin versions of all nested dependencies. If `requirements.in` has been changed, run `make freeze-requirements` to regenerate it.
