# Active Context - README Development Environment Setup Update
## Current Task: Create Comprehensive README for Development Environment Setup
## Current Task: README.md Update for Accurate Development Environment Setup
**Date**: 2025-07-02
**Status**: ✅ COMPLETED
**User Request**: "Create a comprehensive README explaining how to setup the development environment for this site."
**User Request**: "make sure 'README.md' is fully up to date with proper dev environment setup instructions"
## Task Requirements
1.Comprehensive development environment setup instructions
2.Technology stack documentation
3.Prerequisites and installation steps
4.Database setup (PostgreSQL + PostGIS)
5.Critical development workflow commands
6.Project structure overview
7. ✅ Troubleshooting section
8. ✅ Integration with existing .clinerules requirements
1.Verify README accuracy against current project configuration
2.Update database configuration guidance (current HOST setting)
3.Enhance GeoDjango library path documentation
4.Improve troubleshooting section with platform-specific guidance
5.Ensure all development commands match .clinerules requirements
6.Document current system-specific configurations
## Implementation Summary
### README.md Created
- **Comprehensive Setup Guide**: Complete step-by-step instructions for development environment
- **Technology Stack**: Django 5.0+, HTMX, Alpine.js, Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL/PostGIS
- **Prerequisites**: Python 3.11+, UV package manager, PostgreSQL, GDAL/GEOS, Node.js
- **Critical Commands**: Emphasized UV-only package management and specific server startup sequence
- **Database Setup**: Detailed PostgreSQL and PostGIS configuration
- **Project Structure**: Overview of all major application components
- **Troubleshooting**: Common issues and solutions
### README.md Updated for Accuracy
- **Database Configuration**: Added explicit current HOST setting (`192.168.86.3`) with local development guidance
- **GeoDjango Libraries**: Documented current macOS Homebrew paths in settings.py
- **Platform-Specific Guidance**: Added Linux library path examples and enhanced find commands
- **Migration Setup**: Added note to update database HOST before running migrations
- **Troubleshooting Enhancement**: Improved GDAL/GEOS library location guidance
- **Configuration Verification**: Confirmed UV package manager, PostGIS setup, and development commands
### Key Features Documented
1. **UV Package Manager**: Strict requirement for all Python package management
2. **Django Commands**: Always use `uv run manage.py <command>` pattern
3. **Server Startup**: Critical command sequence for development server
4. **GeoDjango Setup**: PostGIS extension and library configuration
5. **Authentication**: OAuth integration with Google/Discord
6. **Testing**: Pytest and Playwright E2E testing setup
7. **Memory Bank Integration**: References to existing documentation system
### Key Updates Made
1. **Database Host Clarity**: Explicit mention of current `192.168.86.3` setting and local development guidance
2. **GeoDjango Library Paths**: Current macOS Homebrew paths documented with Linux alternatives
3. **Enhanced Troubleshooting**: Additional find commands for `/opt` directory library locations
4. **Migration Guidance**: Pre-migration database configuration note added
5. **Platform Support**: Better cross-platform setup instructions
6. **Configuration Accuracy**: All settings verified against actual project files
### Development Workflow Emphasis
- **Package Management**: `uv add <package>` only
