Django JET has two kinds of licenses: open-source (GPLv2) and commercial. Please note that using GPLv2 code in your programs make them GPL too. So if you don’t want to comply with that we can provide you a commercial license (in this case please email at [e-mail]). The commercial license is designed for using Django JET in commercial products and applications without the provisions of the GPLv2.

License

Django JET is licensed under a The GNU General Public License, Version 2

Installation

• Download and install latest version of Django JET:

pip install django-jet
# or
easy_install django-jet

• Add ‘jet’ application to the INSTALLED_APPS setting of your Django project settings.py file (note it should be before ‘django.contrib.admin’):

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'jet',
    'django.contrib.admin',
)

• Make sure django.template.context_processors.request context processor is enabled in settings.py (Django 1.8+ way):

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                ...
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                ...
            ],
        },
    },
]

Warning

Before Django 1.8 you should specify context processors different way. Also use django.core.context_processors.request instead of django.template.context_processors.request.

from django.conf import global_settings

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = global_settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS + (
    'django.core.context_processors.request',
)

• Add URL-pattern to the urlpatterns of your Django project urls.py file (they are needed for related–lookups and autocompletes):

urlpatterns = patterns(
    '',
    url(r'^jet/', include('jet.urls', 'jet')),  # Django JET URLS
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    ...
)

• Create database tables:

python manage.py migrate jet
# or
python manage.py syncdb

• Collect static if you are in production environment:

python manage.py collectstatic

• Clear your browser cache

Dashboard installation

Note

Dashboard is located into a separate application. So after a typical JET installation it won’t be active. To enable dashboard application follow these steps:

• Add ‘jet.dashboard’ application to the INSTALLED_APPS setting of your Django project settings.py file (note it should be before ‘jet’):

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'jet.dashboard',
    'jet',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    ...
)

• Add URL-pattern to the urlpatterns of your Django project urls.py file (they are needed for related–lookups and autocompletes):

urlpatterns = patterns(
    '',
    url(r'^jet/', include('jet.urls', 'jet')),  # Django JET URLS
    url(r'^jet/dashboard/', include('jet.dashboard.urls', 'jet-dashboard')),  # Django JET dashboard URLS
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    ...
)

• Create database tables:

# or
