develop Build Status:

A Python package for rendering files to HTML via an embeddable iframe.

Install the latest version of python3.5.

For MacOSX users:

brew install python3 brew install r

For Ubuntu users:

apt-get install python3 apt-get install r-base

After installing python3.5, create the virtual environment with the following commands:

pip install virtualenv pip install virtualenvwrapper mkvirtualenv --python=`which python3` mfr pip install invoke==0.11.1 invoke install --develop invoke server

MFR looks for local configuration in ~/.cos/mfr-test.json. The defaults should suffice for most local testing. If you're running the OSF on something other than http://localhost:5000/, you'll need to update the ALLOWED_PROVIDER_DOMAINS settings value:

{ "SERVER_CONFIG": { "ALLOWED_PROVIDER_DOMAINS": ["http://localhost:9999/"] } }

If you encounter the error message TypeError: throw() takes 2 positional arguments but 4 were given, you've run into a core asyncio bug! This bug is triggered by turning on debugging. You'll need to set SERVER_CONFIG.DEBUG to false in your mfr-test.json, e.g.

{ "SERVER_CONFIG": { "DEBUG": false } }
