My Feed Installation

Setup python virtualenv via sudo pip install virtualenv.
In a project directory, type virtualenv env to create a python virtual environment.
(optional) install virtualenv_cd_alias via git clone https://github.com/patrick-dowell/shell_stuff.git
Install MySQL if you don't have it from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/.
Download MySQL-python from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/files/mysql-python/1.2.2/MySQL-python-1.2.2.tar.gz/download.
Once inside your virtualenv, move MySQL-python to your virtualenv by typing mv ~/Downloads/MySQL-python-1.2.2.tar.gz ./.
Run tar xvfz MySQL-python-1.2.2.tar.gz.
Run cd MySQL-python-1.2.2.
Run vi setup_posix.py.
Type :s/"mysql_config"/"\/usr\/local\/mysql-5.5.25-osx10.6-x86_64\/bin\/mysql_config"/g and hit enter to replace "mysql_config" with "/usr/local/mysql-5.5.25-osx10.6-x86_64/bin/mysql_config". (Note that the path /usr/local/mysql-5.5.25-osx10.6-x86_64/bin/mysql_config should exist and be valid on your machine before performing this step.)
Type :x and hit enter to save and quit.

Edit _mysql.c lines 37, 38, and 39 as follows:

//#ifndef uint
//#define uint unsigned int
//#endif

Run sudo python setup.py build.
Run sudo python setup.py install.
Return to your python virtual environment and install Django via pip install django.
Also install jinja2 via pip install Jinja2.

Verify your installation by typing python and executing the following:

>>>import MySQLdb
>>>MySQLdb.apilevel
'2.0'
>>>import django
>>>print django.VERSION
(1, 4, 0, 'final', 0)
>>>exit()

Next, create a database called myfeed using Sequel Pro (http://www.sequelpro.com/download/). Make sure your mysql server is running at this point.
Config git via https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git.
Now, run git clone https://github.com/patrick-dowell/my-daily-feed.git.
run python manage.py syncdb in my_daily_feed/mysite to sync the myfeed database.
run python manage.py runserver to start the server.
