Question

I am trying to learn Django and for this I would like to study a sample project to see how different apps on one homepage interact.

I was running into the Pinax Symposion sample which I cloned from GitHub and and tried to install it using

./setup.py build
./setup.py install

As I am new to Python and Django I do not know how to get the symposion sample up and running from there.

Do I need to add this application to the settings.py? How do I setup the urls?

Answer 1

You shuold read the installation doc:
http://pinaxproject.com/docs/dev/gettingstarted/#installation

One you installed the virtual env and installed pinax, you have to run:

(mysite-env)$ python manage.py syncdb
(mysite-env)$ python manage.py runserver
