Installation¶

You can install from PyPi and manually add some packages or install from a GitHub checkout and use pip and a requirement.txt file.

Installing from PyPi¶

Simple to install from a package using pip which will install most of it’s dependencies:

$ pip install django-periodicals

Install two packages/applications manually to get newer versions than are currently in PyPi:

$ pip install -e git://github.com/saschwarz/django-recaptcha.git#egg=django-recaptcha

$ pip install -e git://github.com/nemith/django-tagging.git@dev-django1.5#egg=django_tagging-dev

Continue installing with Install a Haystack Backend below.

Installing from GitHub¶

This lets you install all the requirements using pip and the requirements.txt file:

$ git clone https://github.com/saschwarz/django-periodicals.git

$ cd django-periodicals

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

$ python setup.py install

Install a Haystack Backend¶
