-# Installation
-For a simple testing installation:
+- python
+- python-virtualenv
+
+# Python dependencies
+
+More detail in `requirements.txt` and `requirements_prod.txt`; it is best to
+use virtualenv to handle these. But if you insist on (Arch Linux) packages, you
+will probably want the following:
+
+- mysql-python or python-pysqlite
+- django
+- python-markdown
+- python-south
+- python-memcached
+
+# Testing Installation
+
+1. Run `virtualenv`.
+
+ $ cd /path/to/archweb && virtualenv ../archweb
- 1. Install dependencies.
- $ pacman -S django python-pysqlite sqlite3
-
- 2. Copy local_settings.py.example to local_settings.py and modify.
- Make sure to uncomment the appropriate db section (either sqlite or mysql).
+2. Install dependencies through `pip`.
- 3. Sync the database to create it.
- $ python manage.py syncdb
+ $ pip -r requirements.txt
- 4. Load the fixtures to prepopulate some data.
- $ python manage.py loaddata arches.json repos.json
