I've actually been working on a document on how to install Satchmo
since i don't like the "official" instructions. Some co-workers of
mine were having problems installing as well. Here's how I set up my
stuff:
1.) Make sure you have Django 1.0.x installed
2.) Install all dependencies
3.) Download the latest Satchmo from trunk with the command: svn co
svn://satchmoproject.com/satchmo/trunk satchmo_project (lets say you
were in the /usr/home/shankar directory, this will make /usr/home/
shankar/satchmo_project)
4.) Now that you have downloaded the latest src tree, you have to add
it to your python path. Find your site packages directory (in your
case /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ and create a new file in there
called "satchmo_project.pth". The contents of this file should be the
following:
/usr/home/shankar/satchmo_project/satchmo/apps/
This will add all of the apps into your python path. Alternatively you
can just ln -s the apps directory into site pacakages, but i find
the .pth file cleaner.
5.) Now that you have satchmo installed, you just have to add it into
a project.
To do that:
1.) Start a new project (or use an old one) "django-admin.py
startproject mystore
2.) edit your settings.py file and make the following changes:
a.) add the following to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES
'threaded_multihost.middleware.ThreadLocalMiddleware',
'satchmo_store.shop.SSLMiddleware.SSLRedirect',
b.) add the following to CONTEXT_PROCESSORS
'satchmo_store.shop.context_processors.settings',
c.) add the following to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS
'satchmo_store.accounts.email-auth.EmailBackend',
'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
d.) make sure to set a TEMPLATE_DIRS
i personally use: os.path.join(DIRNAME,'templates'), (where
DIRNAME is the directory of my project)
e.) finally... just install all the satchmo related apps to
INSTALLED_APPS (note: i have commented out optional ones... i hope!):
'satchmo_store.shop',
'keyedcache',
'livesettings',
'l10n',
'satchmo_utils.thumbnail',
'satchmo_store.contact',
'tax',
'tax.modules.no',
'tax.modules.area',
'tax.modules.percent',
'shipping',
#'shipping.modules.tieredquantity',
#'satchmo_store.contact.supplier',
#'satchmo_ext.newsletter',
#'satchmo_ext.recentlist',
#'satchmo_ext.product_feeds',
#'satchmo_ext.brand',
#'satchmo_ext.wishlist',
#'satchmo_ext.upsell',
#'satchmo_ext.productratings',
#'satchmo_ext.tieredpricing',
'product',
'payment',
#'payment.modules.purchaseorder',
#'payment.modules.giftcertificate',
'satchmo_utils',
Note: You may also have to install the dependencies and/or
django.contrib apps:
'sorl.thumbnail', # sorl-thumbail
'registration', #django registration
'app-plugins',
OK you're done with your settings file!
Now finally open up your urls.py file and at the bottom add this:
from satchmo_store.urls import urlpatterns as satchmo_urls
urlpatterns += satchmo_urls
Save and do "python manage.py runserver" and navigate to
http://localhost:8000/shop
and you should see an unstyled and empty store. Why is it unstyled and
empty. Well we didn't copy over the static media files nor a demo
store. But the official documentation should work for that!
