Installation

You can install bobtemplates.eea as every other normal Python package with pip inside a virtualenv or better with pipenv.

Installion with pipenv

pipenv install bobtemplates.eea

Installation with pip in a virtualenv

You can also install bobtemplates.eea with pip in a virtualenv. If you don’t have an active virtualenv, you can create one inside your project directory.

virtualenv .

Then either activate the virtualenv:

source ./bin/activate

or just use the binaries directly inside the bin folder as below:

./bin/pip install bobtemplates.eea

Use in a buildout

[buildout]
parts += mrbob

[mrbob]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs =
    mr.bob
    bobtemplates.eea

This creates a mrbob-executable in your bin-directory.

Usage

As bobtemplates.eea is a template for mr.bob, we use mrbob to run the templates.

If you are using buildout or an unactivated virtualenv, you can use mrbob like this:

./bin/mrbob bobtemplates.eea:addon -O src/eea.foo

If you are using pipenv or an activated virtualenv, you can use mrbob like this:

Activate pipenv shell:

pipenv shell

or activate your virtualenv:

source bin/activate

mrbob bobtemplates.eea:addon -O src/eea.foo

This will create your Plone package inside the src directory.

See the documentation of mr.bob for further information.

Configuration

You can set all mr.bob configuration parameters in your ~/.mrbob file.

Here is an example:

[mr.bob]
verbose = False

[variables]
author.name = Alin Voinea
author.email = contact@avoinea.com
