How to install pinax symposion sample project?

I am trying to learn Django and for this I would like to study a sample project to see how different apps on one homepage interact.

I was running into the Pinax Symposion sample which I cloned from GitHub and and tried to install it using 

./setup.py build
./setup.py install

As I am new to Python and Django I do not know how to get the symposion sample up and running from there.

Do I need to add this application to the settings.py? How do I setup the urls?

Solution

  • You shuold read the installation doc: http://pinaxproject.com/docs/dev/gettingstarted/#installation

    One you installed the virtual env and installed pinax, you have to run:

    (mysite-env)$ python manage.py syncdb
(mysite-env)$ python manage.py runserver
