Question

i am trying to install pinax in django 1.4.0. and I am using git to install pinax…

-e git+git://github.com/pinax/pinax.git#egg=pinax

now.. when i activate my virtualenv.

/djangoproj$ virtualenv mysite-env

New python executable in mysite-env/bin/python
Installing setuptools............done.
Installing pip...............done.

/djangoproj$ source mysite-env/bin/activate
/djangoproj$ pinax-admin setup_project mysite
pinax-admin: command not found

i got the error pinax-admin: command not found.

I am following this documentation http://pinax.readthedocs.org/en/latest/gettingstarted.html#prerequisites

where did i go wrong? i did install Pinax in git so i don’t need to install it in pip because it is already installed…

Does anyone have an idea on how can I deal with my case?

Answer 1

I think it’s better to use a pip requirements file with pinax and all the required modules to set up your environment. This way you can easily test your app in other hosts.

For the starting development environment:

• Create a virtualenv
• Install all you need with pip
• Create a requirements file: pip freeze > requirements.txt (this should be in your repo)
• Develop your app

For a new development environment:

• Create a virtualenv
• Clone your repo with your app and requirements.txt
• pip -r requirements.txt
• You’re finished
