After installing Python:
Table of Contents
Install Web2Py
git clone https://github.com/web2py/web2py.git --recursive
Sahana now supports the web2py-2.21.2 stable releases, so you should:
cd web2py # Reset to web2py-2.21.2 git reset --hard 31905858b git submodule update
Install Eden
Quick
If you are deploying Sahana Eden code base but do not intend on contributing any changes back to the core trunk (perhaps for a custom deployment) you can just clone the Trunk version of Eden:
cd web2py/applications git clone https://github.com/sahana/eden.git
Note: the fact that we ensure that the name of the web2py application has no hyphen in, as otherwise it cannot run under Apache!
For Ongoing Development
If you intend to develop for Sahana Eden and have your code pulled into Trunk you need to follow the instructions Fork Your Own Sahana Eden Repository to be able to pull
new updates and push
changes.
Mac Users Note
To avoid an issue that you may encounter with ongoing coding which is explained in this stackoverflow.com thread, before running the command to clone the repo, make sure to run:
git config --global core.precomposeunicode true
Start Eden
To test your installation of Eden, without Eclipse, you can start web2py from the command line:
cd .. # the web2py main directory python web2py.py
When you first start Eden, then the settings file web2py/application/eden/models/000_config.py
will be created from web2py/application/eden/modules/templates/000_config.py
.
You will be unable to proceed until you edit this file. The minimal required change is to delete the line with FINISHED_EDITING_CONFIG_FILE = False
.
If you want the Scheduler to run, then you'll need to start this separately: UserGuidelines/Scheduler
Test Eden
Once you have web2py running navigate to the server ( http://localhost:8000 by default ). From the web2py drop down menu navigate to "My Sites" and Select Eden. You should now be at the Eden homepage.
By default the 1st user to register will gain the Administrator role.
Install Eclipse
If you want a graphical debugger to set breakpoints & step through code then it is recommended to install Eclipse:
