Refinery is a Django-based web application implemented in Python and JavaScript. For a full list of all external dependencies please see Dependencies.
The easiest method to install Refinery is to follow instructions in the README file. Note: Installation process will fail if any of the ports forwarded from the VM are in use on the host machine (please see Vagrantfile for the list of ports).

> python manage.py createsuperuser
