Virtual environments

Make sure that virtualenv is installed. You may need to install nodeenv for running Node applications in a virtual container. For this project template, LessCSS is used and compiled server-side using Node. Install nodeenv if you don't want to install the LessCSS compiler globally.

Virtualenv:

$ virtualenv [repo-name]$ cd [repo-name]$ source bin/activate

Note: I typically name my virtualenv the same as my repository in Github. This allows for consistency if collaborating with others or just having to clone the repo on another machine.

Nodeenv:

$ pip install nodeenv$ nodeenv -p$ npm install lessProject scaffold

Concepts: Adaptive design, mobile-first, RESS, responsive web design - whatever you want to call it! Includes: Bootstrap3/Normalize, Django Compressor, MobileESP, LessCSS

Install Django:

$ pip install django

Start project using template

$ django-admin.py startproject --template=https://github.com/charlon/django-scaffold-template/archive/master.zip --extension=py,in,html [project_name]

Install dependencies:

$ cd [project_name]$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Run server (using local settings):

$ cd [project_name]$ python manage.py runserver --settings=[project_name].settings.local 0.0.0.0:8000

At this point, you may want to start version controlling your project (see Version Control).

Install apps

$ python manage.py startapp [app_name]
