Python dependencies

More detail in requirements.txt and requirements_prod.txt; it is best to use virtualenv and pip to handle these. But if you insist on (Arch GNU/Linux) packages, you will probably want the following:

• django
• python-psycopg2
• python-markdown
• python-memcached

Testing Installation

1. Run virtualenv.

    cd /path/to/personalsite && virtualenv ./venv/
   

2. Activate the virtualenv.

    source ./env/bin/activate
   

3. Install dependencies through pip.

    pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Copy settings.py.example to settings.py and modify. Make sure to uncomment the appropriate database section (either sqlite or PostgreSQL).

5. Migrate changes.

    ./manage.py migrate
   

6. Create superUSER

    ./manage.py createsuperuser
   

7. Use the following commands to start a service instance

    ./manage.py runserver
