## installation

Clone the repository and its submodules

	clone --recursive https://github.com/medialab/zup.git zup

If `--recursive` options is not available, consider using these command to install submodules

	cd zup

	git submodule init

	git submodule update

Create and activate a dedicated virtualenv for zup. If you're not sure, please follow this [how-to](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/)

Install then the dependencies via pip packages:

	

	cd zup

	pip install -r requirements.txt

Some python package that zup requires, like lxml, needs some other libraries to be available. On unix environment, make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed.

	sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev python-dev

In case, you are using Ubuntu/Lubuntu 13.04 or Ubuntu 13.10 and having problem with "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz", you may need also install zlib1g-dev package.

	

	sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

		

## Configuration

Once installation has been completed, there is one more step: configuration.

	cd zup

	cp local_settings.py.example local_settings.py

And modify these two lines according to your own virtualenv

	

	SECRET_KEY = 'your own generated secret key'

		

	PYTHON_INTERPRETER = '/.virtualenvs/zup/bin/python'

	

Also define in which directories you want to install Django's static files:

    STATIC_ROOT = '/static'

    MEDIA_ROOT  = '/media'

	

## Run

Zup needs a light sqlite database

	cd zup

	python manage.py syncdb

	python manage.py test

    python manage.py collectstatic

Test your installation with

	python manage.py runserver
