Installation

---

Get the repository

Go to the subfolder, where you want to create your new PaTT-Application (here ~/tmp)

cd ~/tmp

Clone the repository

git clone https://git.mount-mockery.de/application/pygal.git

Change to your repository and initialise it completely

cd pygal
git submodule init
git submodule update

Create your virtual environment

Create python3 environment

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv

Activate the environment

source activate

Upgrade all outdated packages

pip list -o --format freeze|cut -d '=' -f 1 | xargs pip install $1 --upgrade

Configuration and Initialisation of PyGal

---

Create your config File

Copy the config example

cp config_example/config.py .
chmod 700 config.py

Set a secret key

Edit config.py and add a SECRET_KEY. Generate the secret e.g by executing the following command:

python manage.py

At the End of the error message you’ll see a random secret:

KeyError: “You need to create a config.py file including at least a SECRET_KEY definition (e.g.: --> ‘HERE IS THE RANDOM SECRET ;-)’ <--).”

Create your initial database and first user for PyGal

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser

Finalise Configuration

Now there are two ways to finalise your configuration. The first way is for a test or development system. The other is for a production System.

1. Test or development System: Edit config.py and set the Variable DEBUG to True.

2. Production System: Edit config.py and set the Variable ALLOWED_HOSTS. Execute “python manage.py collectstatic” to create a folder including all static files. Then add PaTT to your server configuration. See also Django Documnetation for further information.

Start the Test or development System

---

Go to the folder, where your PyGal-Application is locates (here ~/tmp/pygal)

cd ~/tmp/pygal

Activate your Virtual Environment

source activate

Start the Server

python manage.py runserver
