Features

djangocms-installer is a console wizard to help bootstrapping a django CMS project.

Refer to django CMS Tutorial on how to properly setup your first django CMS project.

Note

It used to be called aldryn-installer, but since version 0.2.0 it's been renamed djangocms-installer for clarity.

Installation

1. Create an empty virtualenv:

   virtualenv /virtualenv/path/my_project
   

2. Install djangocms-installer:

   pip install djangocms-installer
   

   or:

   pip install -e git+https://github.com/nephila/djangocms-installer#egg=djangocms-installer
   

Documentation

See http://djangocms-installer.readthedocs.org

Supported versions

The current supported version matrix is the following:

	Django 1.4	Django 1.5	Django 1.6	Django 1.7	Django 1.8
django CMS 2.4	Supported	Supported	Unsupported	Unsupported	Unsupported
django CMS 3.0	Supported	Supported	Supported	Supported	Unsupported
django CMS 3.1	Unsupported	Unsupported	Supported	Supported	WiP
django CMS dev	Unsupported	Unsupported	Supported	Supported	WiP

Any beta and develop version of Django and django CMS, by its very nature, it's not supported, while it still may work.

djangocms-installer tries to support beta versions of django CMS when they will be considered sufficiently stable by the upstream project.

Warning

djangocms-installer assumes that django-admin.py is installed in the same directory as python executable, which is the standard virtualenv layout.

Caveats

While this wizard try to handle most of the things for you, it doesn't check for all the proper native (non python) libraries to be installed. Before running this, please check you have the proper header and libraries installed and available for packages to be installed.

Libraries you would want to check:

• libjpeg (for JPEG support in Pillow)
• zlib (for PNG support in Pillow)
• postgresql (for psycopg)
• libmysqlclient (for Mysql-Python)
• python-dev (for compilation and linking)

For additional information, check http://djangocms-installer.readthedocs.org/en/latest/libraries.html

Windows support

The installer is tested on Windows 7 with Python versions 3.4.2 and 2.7.8 installed using official MSI packages available at http://python.org.

Please check that the .py extension is associated correctly with Python interpreter:

c:\> assoc .py
.py=Python.File

c:\>ftype Python.File
Python.File="C:\Windows\py.exe" "%1" %*
