Setting up my django development (basic).
The following steps assuming that Python is installed.
- Setup a repository on Bitbucket:
Ensure my development machine has access via SSH keys - Install pip on development machine:
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing.html:
To install pip, securely download get-pip.py
Then run the following (which may require administrator access):$[sudo] python get-pip.py
- Install virtualenv on the development machine:
https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/installation.html$ [sudo] pip install virtualenv
- Create a working directory for the project:
$mkdir /path/to/project/root
- Create the virtual environment to work from:
$virtualenv /path/to/project/root/env
- Activate the virtual environment:
$source /path/to/project/root/env/bin/activate
- Install mysql-python:
(env)$[sudo]apt-get install python-dev libmysqlclient-dev(env)$pip install MySQL-python - Install django 1.7:
(env)$pip install django==1.7
exit the virtualenv for now by:
(env)$ deactivate
- Install pycharm to manage the project from a GUI:
First install java:$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer $ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default
Next install pycharm:
Download from https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/
or from a directory outside of your project directory:$ wget http://download.jetbrains.com/python/pycharm-community-4.5.3.tar.gz
change to that directory and :
$ tar -xvf pycharm-community-4.5.3.tar.gz
now to launch pycharm:
$ ./pycharm-community-4.5.3/bin/pycharm.sh
Django 1.7, mysql-python and the pycharm editor should now be ready to use!
