cd wals/
. bin/activate
curl -O http://zenodo.org/record/11040/files/wals3-v2014.2.zip
unzip wals3-v2014.2.zip
python clld-wals3-d23d403/fromdump.py
cd wals3/
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py develop
python wals3/scripts/unfreeze.py sqlite.ini
pserve sqlite.iniThen you should be able to access the application by visiting http://localhost:6543 in your browser. Note that you still need an internet connection for the application to download external resources like the map tiles or javascript libraries.
