Python2.5 and Django on Etch

[maboroshi]

Ok going to go over some stuff that helped me get Django installed on etch. With MySQL

First up you need to install Python2.5

Code: Select all

apt-get install python2.5

Create a symbolic link to Python2.5

Code: Select all

ln -sf /usr/bin/python2.5 /usr/bin/python

This will help

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude search libmysqlclient15-dev

Now install Python dev

Code: Select all

apt-get install python2.5-dev

Now do an updatedb and a locate for "easy" with out the quotes

this will output the location of easy_install on your debian system. Mine was named easy_install-2.5

Now run this file installing your libraries mysql-python and django

I may have left some stuff out like setting up apache I just wanted to point some key things that helped me

Now do an updatedb and a locate for "easy" with out the quotes

just wanted to add that updatedb/locate might not be available by default (it isn't on Lenny, don't remember anymore for Etch), in this case:

Code: Select all

apt-get install mlocate
