Start Eden

Once you've run the installer, and you just want to try your installation of Eden, without Eclipse, you can start web2py from the command line:

cd C:\Path\To\Installation\web2py
C:\Python27\python.exe web2py.py

N.B: Obviously replace Python27 with your own version of Python.

Or if you prefer, you can start it from the GUI (Graphical User Interface):
Click Start > My Computer.
Browse to the directory with "web2py.py" and the Eden program inside.
Double click the web2py.py file - this should start up web2py, which will look something similar to this:

Enter a one time admin password and hit "start server". Then you can go open ​http://127.0.0.1:8000/eden in your internet browser to run Sahana Eden.

Getting the latest revision

Note: This will reuse any pre-installed Python-2.7 environment.
Note: You do not need to do this if you used the installer.exe file unless you wish to update your eden version to the latest change.

• Install Git and set up an account on GitHub:
  • ​http://help.github.com/win-set-up-git/
• Fork your own copy of Eden:
  • ​https://github.com/flavour/eden/fork_select
• Update your local repo:

  cd web2py\applications\eden
  git pull
  

• Modify the source for this version, by editing eden\.git\config

  url = git@github.com:mygitusername/eden.git
  

• Add trunk as the upstream:

  git remote add upstream git://github.com/flavour/eden.git
  

• copy private/templates/000_config.py to /models and set FINISHED_EDITING_CONFIG_FILE = True

If you want a graphical debugger and full-featured IDE to set breakpoints & step through code then it is recommended to install Eclipse:
