If you current operating system is Windows it is recommend to either extend the console with Cywing or better get <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer">]Wubi</a> (Windows Ubuntu Installer) as a dual boot system which the latter one is very straight forward.
¶
¶
In the following are the instructions to set up Denigma on Windows:
¶
¶
1. Installing Python:
¶
¶
In order to set up a local development version of Denigma on Windows. Install Python at first if you haven not yet [http://www.python.org/].
¶
We are going with latest version of Python 2 (i.e. 2.7.3), as Python 3 is not yet well established. Many libraries are still in stage 2. So with Python 3 you would have a much smaller application ecosystem.
¶
If you are on a 64bit machine install the following executable [http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/python-2.7.3.amd64.msi] under preferentially C:\Python27\
. Next install a Interactive Development Environment for Python and Django [http://www.denigma.de/tutorials/77/view/].
¶
¶
2. Set Environment Variables:
¶
¶
Next step is to set the environment variables. For this follow: Start
> Control Panel
> Double click on System Icon
System Properties. There under system variables edit PATH
and include in the front the following string: C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts\
.
¶
¶
3. GIT:
¶
¶
Now we need GIT, the cat [http://msysgit.github.com/]. For instance: [http://denigma.de/url/3q].
¶
The installation will ask to choose:
¶
¶
a) use Git Bash only
¶
b) run Git from windows command prompt
¶
c) run Git and included Unix tools from windows command prompt
¶
¶
Select c).
¶
¶
¶
Then open the command prompt, navigate to a folder where the project shall live and run the following command:
¶
¶
git clone https://github.com/hevok/denigma
¶
¶
¶
4. Virtual Environment:
¶
¶
Download the latest easy Installer for Windows that fits the installed Python version (e.g. the exe at the bottom of [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools]) and install it.
¶
¶
if you are on a 64bit machine you consider to download ez_setup.py
and install it instead [http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py].
¶
¶
Open a new DOS prompt and run easy_install pip
as well as pip install virtualenv
.
¶
¶
finally navigate to the Denigma project folder and create a virtual environment::
¶
¶
python virtualenv.py env
¶
C:\dev\denigma\env\Scripts\activate
¶
¶
¶
5. Starting Denigma:
¶
¶
No its time to prepare Denigma for running:
¶
¶
pip install -r denigma/requirements/pre.txt
¶
pip install -r denigma/requirements/project.txt
¶
¶
python manage.py syncdb --all
¶
python manage.py migrate --fake
¶
python manage.py runserver
¶
¶
Open localhost:8000
in the browser and it is accomplished.
