# Django + Heroku Template
This template was only tested with and only works with *Mountain Lion OS X* (Mac). This may change in the future.
See a full, in depth tutorial on how to use the template [HERE](http://markglagola.com/post/django-heroku-template-depth-tutorial/)
### Why use it?
This template simplifies the setup process of creating a Django project that's ready to be pushed to Heroku with Amazon S3 support.
- It takes **about 3 minutes** to setup and run a **local** django project using this template.
- It takes **under 10 minutes** to setup and run a django project using this template **on Heroku** (Following this [Tutorial](http://markglagola.com/post/django-heroku-template-depth-tutorial/)). Setting up and install requirements on Heroku for the first time is what takes the most time!
## Requirements
- OS X
- virtualenv
- [heroku toolbelt](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/)
- git
- Amazon S3 Account (Get AWS Keys Ready!)
## Setup
Below is a brief overview on how to setup the template. I recommend going through a more in depth tutorial [HERE](http://markglagola.com/post/django-heroku-template-depth-tutorial/).
1. Download .zip and extract it to your desired directory.
2. Rename the root folder to whatever you like. **DO NOT** modify any other files.
2. `cd` into your recently renamed root folder.
3. Run `git init` in terminal.
4. run `virtualenv .env` in terminal (You may name your virtualenv anything you like).
5. Activate your virtual environment by running `source .env/bin/activate` in terminal.
6. run `pip install -r requirements.txt` in terminal (~1min).
7. run `python setup.py` in terminal. Follow the prompts and make sure to have your amazon S3 keys ready.
8. reactivate your virtual environment by running `source .env/bin/activate`
- Your project is now setup. You can test locally by running `python manage.py syncdb` and then `python manage.py runserver` in terminal.
- You could also test it on the herokuapp site. Just make sure you run `syncdb` on your heroku app.
