The Apps and Ideas extension for CKAN adds functionality to associate apps and ideas to datasets in your CKAN instance.
If using the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS appliance "package installation" method (Option 1 in the documentation), you'll need to install python-imaging, e.g.
sudo apt-get install python-imaging
To install the plugin, enter your virtualenv and load the source:
(ckan)$ pip install -e git+https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-apps#egg=ckanext-apps
This will also register a plugin entry point, so you now should be able to add the following to your CKAN .ini file:
ckan.plugins = community <other-plugins>
After you clear your cache and reload the site, the Comunity plugin and should be available at http://myckaninstance/apps and http://myckaninstance/ideas
You can run the test suite for ckanext-community from the ckan directory, the tests for ckanext-community require nose and mock
(ckan)$ pip install nose mock (ckan)$ nosetests -x path/to/ckanext-community/tests --ckan
