Installation¶
Note
django-magazine is not yet available on PyPI - there’s some cleanup I need to do before I can make it available there.
Before you start¶
You’ll need Python and virtualenv if you don’t already have them. Using a virtual environment will make the installation easier, and will help to avoid clutter in your system-wide libraries. You will also need Git to clone the repository.
Trying it out¶
django-magazine ships with an example project so you can see what it does quickly. Installation is as follows:
git clone http://github.com/dominicrodger/django-magazine.git
cd django-magazine
virtualenv magazine
source magazine/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install Django
cd magazine/example_project
python manage.py syncdb --noinput
python manage.py loaddata sample_magazine_data.json
python manage.py test magazine
python manage.py runserver
This’ll add a superuser with the username admin
and the password
admin
, so you can play around with the admin site, which will be
at http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/. It’ll also create a sample issue with
a couple of articles.
Installing django-magazine¶
django-magazine is not yet available on PyPI, but in the mean time you can install from GitHub like this:
pip install git+git://github.com/dominicrodger/django-magazine.git
Then add magazine
and tinymce
to your INSTALLED_APPS
setting, and update your database using syncdb
or migrate
(if
you’re using South).
