+# PyGal
 
 Python Galery
+
+----
+## 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+#### Upgrade all outdated packages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
+#### Install PaTT Requirements
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+----
+## 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](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/howto/deployment/) 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
