Install PyLucid standalone

Django has a built in development server. So you can easy test PyLucid local under Linux and Windows. We added two scripts for this:

• /pylucid/standalone_w32.cmd - for windows
• /pylucid/standalone_linux.sh - for linux

Follow the steps to setup a local running instance:

↑ repare  #

• Download the last PyLucid Archive from sourceforge or use the svn trunk checkout

↑ settings.py  #

• copy ./PyLucid/settings_example.py to ./PyLucid/settings.py
• Edit the settings.py, changes some things:
• DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3'
• SERVE_STATIC_FILES = True

↑ start  #

Start the development server with the file standalone_w32.cmd or standalone_linux.sh.

Now you can access you page with http://localhost:8000 !

You can install the database follow the normal install steps in the chapter _install section

↑ Tip for xfce4 users  #
