============ Installation ============ This guide is the new (and hopefully improved) Satchmo installation process. It is meant to be a cookbook approach for most users. Advanced users may wish to modify this in order to integrate into their own projects. This guide assumes you are working on a unix variant and that you are installing it somewhere into a directory you have write access to. In the below example, we use /home/user/src. You are expected to modify the path to fit your needs. .. warning:: You must have a recent SVN version of Django properly installed and all of the dependencies mentioned in the requirements section properly installed. Installing Satchmo into your path +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. Use django to create your new store:: cd /home/user/src django-admin.py startproject mystore 2. Checkout the latest Satchmo svn release into (/home/user/src) :: svn co svn://satchmoproject.com/satchmo/trunk/ satchmo-trunk 3. Install satchmo into your site-packages directory:: cd /home/user/src/satchmo-trunk sudo python setup.py install 4. Once the above step is completed, you should be able to import both django and satchmo:: $ python Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Mar 12 2008, 13:39:09) [GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import django >>> import satchmo >>> .. warning:: Do not attempt to progress any further on the install until the above imports work. Customizing the settings ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Now, you need to customize the settings.py file in mystore to include the relevant satchmo information. A sample file called settings-customize.py is available to act as a template. You may choose to copy this file and use as a template for settings.py or use the notes below to configure your existing one. Please remember to ensure that your Django database connections and settings are working properly before trying to add any pieces of satchmo. 5. Ensure that /home/user/src/my-store/settings.py has the following satchmo-specific configurations (in addition to the defaults and your other app needs):: import os DIRNAME = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)) LOCAL_DEV = True MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(DIRNAME, 'static/') MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ("django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware", "satchmo.shop.SSLMiddleware.SSLRedirect", "satchmo.recentlist.middleware.RecentProductMiddleware") TEMPLATE_DIRS = (os.path.join(DIRNAME, "templates")) TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ('satchmo.shop.context_processors.settings', 'django.core.context_processors.auth', 'satchmo.recentlist.context_processors.recent_products', ) INSTALLED_APPS = ( 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.sites', 'django.contrib.comments', 'comment_utils', 'django.contrib.sitemaps', 'satchmo.caching', 'satchmo.configuration', 'satchmo.shop', 'satchmo.contact', 'satchmo.product', 'satchmo.shipping', 'satchmo.payment', 'satchmo.discount', 'satchmo.giftcertificate', 'satchmo.supplier', 'satchmo.thumbnail', 'satchmo.l10n', 'satchmo.tax', 'satchmo.recentlist', ) AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ( 'satchmo.accounts.email-auth.EmailBackend', 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend' ) # Load the local settings from local_settings import * 6. Copy the local_settings file to mystore:: cp /home/user/src/satchmo-trunk/satchmo/local_settings-customize.py /home/user/src/mystore/local_settings.py 7. You will need to verify the values assigned to the following items in local_settings.py:: SITE_NAME CACHE_BACKEND CACHE_TIMEOUT SITE_DOMAIN SHOP_BASE LOGDIR LOGFILE Copy the rest of the required files +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 8. Next, you need to configure your urls.py file:: python manage.py satchmo_copy_urls 9. You will need to merge the satchmo-urls.py file with the existing urls.py file. For most situations, just copy over:: cp urls.py urls.py.orig cp satchmo-urls.py urls.py 10. Copy over the static directory:: python manage.py satchmo_copy_static 11. Copy over the default templates:: python manage.py satchmo_copy_templates Test and Install the Data +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 12. Now, you should be ready to go. In order to test your Satchmo setup, execute the following command (from the mystore directory):: python manage.py satchmo_check Checking your satchmo configuration. Your configuration has no errors. If any errors are identified, resolve them based on the error description. 13. Sync the new satchmo tables:: python manage.py syncdb 14. Load the country data stored in the l10n application:: python manage.py satchmo_load_l10n 15. (Optional) Load the demo store data:: python manage.py satchmo_load_store 16. (Optional) Load the US tax table:: python manage.py satchmo_load_us_tax View the Demo Store +++++++++++++++++++ 17. Start up the sample webserver to see your store:: python manage.py runserver 17. In order to see your sample store, point your browser to:: http://127.0.0.1:8000/shop 19. If you want to see the admin interface, point your browser to:: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin 20. Many configuration and customization settings are accessed through the url:: http://127.0.0.1:8000/settings 21. Additional detailed documentation can be found here:: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/doc .. note:: The above urls will be dependent on your Django setup. If you're running the webserver on the same machine you're developing on, the above urls should work. If not, use the appropriate url. Additional Notes ++++++++++++++++ Satchmo also includes a command that will erase all your tables. It is useful while devoloping but please be careful before using! .. warning:: The next step can erase data in the satchmo database. Be sure to have a backup of any critical data. (For development use only):: python manage.py delete_all_dbs Satchmo also includes a full set of unit tests. After you get your system installed, you can run the unit tests with this command:: python manage.py test
