If you’re not already familiar with the process, head to the main
Installation page for a more detailed description of the process.
- Ensure that you have development headers for MySQL, libjpeg, zlib,
freetype, and Python installed.
- Create and activate a new virtualenv.
- Run python setup.py develop to install MediaDrop and its
dependencies.
- For production, run paster make-config mediacore deployment.ini
and to create a unique deployment.ini config. On development
machines there’s already a development.ini file for you to use.
- Configure your database credentials in the ini config file.
- Run paster setup-app path/to/your/config.ini to set up the database
tables and data.
- Run paster serve path/to/your/config.ini and test it out!
