Installing django-productline

To install django-productline, you must choose an installation directory. So, for example choose ~/Desktop/code/webapps. webapps will be the installation directory. But you don’t need to create it, as the install script will do it for you. So cd in your ~/Desktop/code and execute the following script:

wget -O - https://raw.github.com/henzk/django-productline/master/bin/install.py | python - webapps

In fact we just download and execute the install.py script. - webapps specifies the master container where your django-productline applications will live in.

Congratulations! You just installed django-productline. If you got errors, please make sure you have virtualenv installed.

So, as first step cd into your webapps directory:

webapps
|--_ape

The webapps directory is the master container for all your django-produtline projects. It brings a virtualenv for nall your applications. Beyond that, ape provides a wide range of maintenance functionality for your projects.

So as next step, we need to activate ape to activate the virtualenv:

. _ape/activape

Everything you now install is installed into ape’s virtualenv.

We’ve almost made it. As last step we need to install some additional packages:

pip install -r _ape/venv/src/django-productline/requirements-dev.txt

django-productline has now been successfully installed on your machine.
