Run demo locally

In order to be able to quickly evaluate the django-i18next, a demo app (with a quick installer) has been created (works on Ubuntu/Debian, may work on other Linux systems as well, although not guaranteed). Follow the instructions below for having the demo running within a minute.

Grab the latest django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh:

wget https://raw.github.com/barseghyanartur/django-i18next/stable/examples/django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh

Assign execute rights to the installer and run the django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh:

chmod +x django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh
./django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh

Open your browser and test the app.

If quick installer doesn’t work for you, see the manual steps on running the example project.
