Donation System Setup (for testing donations on your local)

If you've already updated your openssl and installed pyopenssl during the setup of your virtual environment, then you can skip to step 4

In order to test Stripe transactions, your local will need to be updated to TLS1.2. For OS X, see instructions below. For other operating systems go here (https://support.stripe.com/questions/how-do-i-upgrade-my-openssl-to-support-tls-1.2).

For Mac OS X, type in your terminal:

1. brew install openssl

   After installation, check the version: openssl version

   If it's not showing 1.0.2 as the most recent version, then you need to symlink to the updated openssl version like so:

   • ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2h_1/bin/openssl /usr/local/bin/openssl

   • open a new terminal window to continue:

2. brew install python3

   Reinitialize virtual environment in your WeVoteServer folder if the version of python you have installed is still pointing to the old openssl path (this might entail deleting bin/python and reinstalling python, then )

   • pip install -r requirements.txt (you might need to attempt pip install several times for it to fully install)

3. python3 -m pip install pyopenssl pyasn1 ndg-httpsclient

4. pip install stripe
