 Just adding some text to test dev deployment. 
+
+
+working with this locally??
+
+
+You'll need a few things. 
+
+Firstly, I used a postgres DB.  According to the fine producers of the Djaango project, it provides great features that the other db's just don't. 
+P.S. I like having JSON on my objects...just saying. 
+
+To get this working on a mac locally you need a DB driver
+
+$ brew install postgresql
+
+of course, you'll need the an actual DB behind the resources.  I have environment vars.  What do you have?
+
+Then, install the requirements. 
+
+$ pip install -r requiremenst.txt
