I just tried a GeoNode build on Windows 7. Here are, in a nutshell, some notes and what I ran into:
To get started… · Install Visual C++ 2008 (2008!) compiler from http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/ · Install dependencies - python (setuptools, pywin32, psycopg2, PIL, reportlab), java, maven, postgresql, git, svn – according to install instructions for each package · Adjust your environment path. most install instructions have information on that. The only extra thing I had to do was to add git and svn ‘bin’ directories to my environment path. · …then follow the GeoNode install instructions Here is what happened in my case: · 'python bootstrap.py --no-site-packages' stopped with pip-error (http://pastebin.com/yXDY5vnC), but GeoNode’s virtualenv seemed to be installed and · activating it ('Scripts\activate.bat') and installing py-base-libs.txt requirements manually ('pip install -r shared\py-base-libs.txt') worked fine · GeoServer build failed (http://pastebin.com/tNJdxa3w) · uncommented setup_geoserver and setup_geonetwork in pavement.py to see if the Django part would work · at some point during ‘paver build’, ‘django-admin.py’ opens in a texteditor, probably because it’s called without the ‘python ‘ prefix and my Windows doesn’t execute .py-files by default, but opens them in an editor. So I guess the django-admin.py commands were not executed. · ‘(geonode) C:\dev\geonode\geonode>python Scripts\django-admin.py createsuperuser --settings=geonode.settings’ results in 'unknown command: createsuperuser' error. I think my virtualenv path settings are messed up. django-admin doesn’t find geonode.settings (had similar issues this morning with a Pinax project in another virtualenv). Any insights on that are highly appreciated!
