Setting Up a Project (development)

Create and activate a virtualenv to act as a sandbox for your project.

    $ virtualenv myspacescout
    $ cd myspacescout
    $ source bin/activate

Install Django into the virtualenv and create a Django project. (Note that SpaceScout Server still uses Django 1.4. We'll be working to make it compatible with newer versions of Django in the future.)

    (myspacescout) $ pip install "Django<1.5"
    (myspacescout) $ django-admin.py startproject spacescoutproject

Now just follow the rest of the instructions in README.md.
