To get started developing flywheel, run the following command:
wget https://raw.github.com/mathcamp/devbox/master/devbox/unbox.py && \
python unbox.py git@github.com:mathcamp/flywheel
This will clone the repository and install the package into a virtualenv
The command to run tests is python setup.py nosetests. Most of these tests require DynamoDB Local. There is a nose plugin that will download and run the DynamoDB Local service during the tests. It requires the java 6/7 runtime, so make sure you have that installed.
