Getting started

• To get you up and running quickly, we’ve provided a demonstration site with all the configuration in place, at github.com/torchbox/wagtaildemo; see the README for installation instructions.

• See the Getting Started docs for installation (with the demo app) on a fresh Debian/Ubuntu box with production-ready dependencies, on OS X and on a Vagrant box.

• Serafeim Papastefanos has written a tutorial with all the steps to build a simple Wagtail site from scratch.

• We’ve also provided a skeletal django-template to get started on a blank site: https://github.com/torchbox/wagtail-template
