install

(Please read the complete installation instructions.)

To create a PyLucid virtual environment, use our bootstrap script:

/home/FooBar$ wget https://raw.github.com/jedie/PyLucid/master/bootstrap/pylucid-boot.py
/home/FooBar$ python pylucid-boot.py PyLucid_env

create a new page instance:

/home/FooBar$ cd PyLucid_env
/home/FooBar/PyLucid_env$ ./create_page_instance.sh /var/www/YourSite

After run our script you have these files/directory:

/var/www/YourSite/media/	Static media files
/var/www/YourSite/index.fcgi	fastCGI dispatcher file
/var/www/YourSite/index.wsgi	mod_WSGI dispatcher file
/var/www/YourSite/index.cgi	CGI handler, should only used for debugging
/var/www/YourSite/local_settings.py	your own settings
/var/www/YourSite/manage.py	Access to django cli management
/var/www/YourSite/.htaccess	prepared to use fast_CGI, mod_WSGI, CGI via mod_rewrite

create database tables and insert initial data:

/home/FooBar/PyLucid_env$ cd /var/www/YourSite
/var/www/YourSite$ ./manage.py syncdb
/var/www/YourSite$ ./manage.py migrate
/var/www/YourSite$ ./manage.py loaddata pylucid.json

Now you can start the local developer server with:

/var/www/YourSite$ ./manage.py runserver

Or use these files for apache with fastCGI:

• /var/www/YourSite/index.fcgi

• /var/www/YourSite/.htaccess
