Django Set Up

Setting Up Django:

The commands and tools necessary to set up the Django Web Framework on an Ubuntu 14.04 system. Things like the initial download, setting up a remote Git repository, and Bootstrap are covered.

Install the following packages globally, as well as making sure you have the latest version of pip.
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip git mariadb-server
$ pip3 install --upgrade pip
$ sudo pip3 install virtualenv

Create a coding directory, and set it up
$ mkdir ~/project/
$ cd ~/project/
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages -p python3 env
$ git init

# Activate (start using the virtualenv)
$ . ./env/bin/activate
# Check you are using the virtualenv python with "which python"

# Make sure you have the latest pip!
$ pip install django
$ pip install mysqlclient
# Create the initial requirements file
$ pip freeze > requirements.txt

# Now Actually create the Django project, then the app.
$ django-admin startproject mysite
$ cd mysite
$ ./manage.py startapp siteapp

# Set up git and the remote git repository
$ git config --global user.name "Timothy Pulliam"
$ git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
$ git config --global core.editor vim
$ git config --list

# Create a remote repository on Github.
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/Timothy-Pulliam/mysite

# Now would be a good time to commit the initial state of the project.
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Initial Commit for mysite and siteapp"
$ git push origin master

# Install Bootstrap files into your app's static directory

# The last thing we need to do is set up the data base engine Django will use for the back end. Django
# Uses Sqlite3 by default, however this is not entirely scalable so we will be using MariaDB (FOSS  fork of MySQL).
