How can I get started developing with Django on Cloud9?


So Cloud9 looks really cool, and you can create python files in it, but I can't figure out how to get it to run a Django project. I imported one from my github account into the IDE, but it says I need to install Django (a django.core import error) so I need to help getting going. Any Ideas? Any skeleton projects on the web that I missed that will do this?


Solution

  • After some research and looking for an answer on different blogs and sites I finally found a solution:

    • Create a new workspace
    • Execute easy_install django to install Django
    • Create new Django project python ./../bin/django-admin.py startproject myproject
    • Start dev server python ./myproject/manage.py runserver $IP:$PORT
    • Access http://projectname.username.c9.io
    • Voilà!!!

    I hope this helps
