# README.md Update - Development Environment Setup
**Date**: 2025-07-02
**Status**: ✅ COMPLETED
## Task Summary
Updated the README.md file to ensure it's fully accurate with the current project configuration and development environment setup instructions.
## Key Issues Identified and Fixed
### 1. Database Configuration Clarity
**Issue**: The README mentioned updating the database HOST but didn't specify the current setting.
**Fix**: Added explicit mention that current HOST is `"192.168.86.3"` and needs to be changed to `"localhost"` for local development.
### 2. GeoDjango Library Paths
**Issue**: Library paths were mentioned generically without specifying current configuration.
**Fix**:
- Documented current macOS Homebrew paths in settings.py
- Added Linux-specific path examples
- Enhanced troubleshooting with additional find commands for `/opt` directory
### 3. Migration Setup Note
**Issue**: No guidance on database configuration before running migrations.
**Fix**: Added explicit note to update database HOST before running migrations for local development.
## Changes Made
### Database Setup Section (Lines 115-130)
```markdown
**Important**: Update the `HOST` setting in [`thrillwiki/settings.py`](thrillwiki/settings.py) to match your PostgreSQL server location:
- Use `"localhost"` or `"127.0.0.1"` for local development
- Current setting is `"192.168.86.3"` - update this to your PostgreSQL server IP
- For local development, change to `"localhost"` in settings.py
### 4. Database Migration
...
**Note**: If you're setting up for local development, first update the database HOST in [`thrillwiki/settings.py`](thrillwiki/settings.py) from `"192.168.86.3"` to `"localhost"` before running migrations.
```
### GeoDjango Requirements Section (Lines 302-306)
```markdown
### GeoDjango Requirements
- GDAL and GEOS libraries must be properly installed
- Library paths are configured in [`thrillwiki/settings.py`](thrillwiki/settings.py) for macOS Homebrew
- Current paths: `/opt/homebrew/lib/libgdal.dylib` and `/opt/homebrew/lib/libgeos_c.dylib`
- May need adjustment based on your system's library locations (Linux users will need different paths)
```
### Troubleshooting Section (Lines 319-334)
```markdown
2. **GDAL/GEOS Library Not Found**
```bash
# macOS (Homebrew): Current paths in settings.py
GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH = "/opt/homebrew/lib/libgdal.dylib"
GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH = "/opt/homebrew/lib/libgeos_c.dylib"
# Linux: Update paths in settings.py to something like:
# GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH = "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdal.so"
# GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH = "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgeos_c.so"
# Find your library locations
find /usr -name "libgdal*" 2>/dev/null
find /usr -name "libgeos*" 2>/dev/null
find /opt -name "libgdal*" 2>/dev/null
find /opt -name "libgeos*" 2>/dev/null
```
```
## Verification Completed
### Project Configuration Verified
-**Package Manager**: UV confirmed (uv.lock file present)
-**Database Engine**: PostGIS confirmed in settings.py
-**GeoDjango Libraries**: macOS Homebrew paths confirmed in settings.py
-**Development Commands**: All UV-based commands verified in .clinerules
### README Accuracy Confirmed
-**Technology Stack**: Accurate (Django 5.0+, HTMX, Alpine.js, Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL/PostGIS)
-**Package Management**: UV correctly documented throughout
-**Database Setup**: Current configuration accurately reflected
-**Development Workflow**: Critical commands properly documented
-**Troubleshooting**: Enhanced with current system-specific information
## Current Project State
The README.md now provides:
1. **Accurate Setup Instructions**: Reflects actual project configuration
2. **Clear Database Configuration**: Explicit guidance for local vs remote setup
3. **Platform-Specific Guidance**: macOS and Linux library path examples
4. **Enhanced Troubleshooting**: More comprehensive library location commands
5. **Development Workflow**: Proper UV-based command patterns
## Next Steps
The README.md is now fully up to date and ready for developers to use for environment setup. No further updates needed unless project configuration changes.
