= Installation on MacOSX =
=== Before you begin ===
1. You will propably need the GIS features of Eden. Before you proceed install the GDAL framework

   http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadingGdalBinaries

2. You also need to install some modules of python

   STATIC_DEPS=true sudo easy_install lxml 

    -  sudo easy_install shapely  , also install the same way reportlab ,geraldo , pyserial , tweepy

3.In case you want to use PostgreSQL - PostGIS ( i assume you already installed the spatial modules before)
 Install the one clickInstaller sponsored by EnterpriseDB PostgreSQL and select also installation of postgis.
 Then based on this article http://schwuk.com/articles/2009/09/10/psycopg2-on-os-x install the python database driver 

 sudo easy_install pip

 PATH=$PATH:/Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/ sudo pip install psycopg2

 defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes

 without the last you will not be able to see available the PostgreSQL driver when web2py launch
=== Download Sahana Eden ===
If NOT being a Developer, then you can get the last stable release from:
 * http://launchpad.net/sahana-eden/trunk/0.5.2/+download/web2py.app.eden-0.5.2.w2p
NB The file should end in .w2p - if you have a trailing .gz after that, then remove it from the filename

=== Install Web2Py ===
 * Download: http://web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_osx.zip
 * unzip

NB This isn't well-tested...may be better off downloading the Source version:
 * http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/web2py_src-1.85.3.zip
=== Launch Web2Py ===
 * {{{web2py.py}}}
 * Select a Password
 * 'click here for the administrative interface'
 * Enter same password

=== Install Sahana ===
 * upload application: web2py.app.eden-0.5.2.w2p
 * rename it: eden
 * submit

=== Done! ===
 * http://127.0.0.1:8000/eden/
=== Trouble? ===
 * {{{lxml}}} can give trouble on OS X.  Try:
  * {{{STATIC_DEPS=true sudo easy_install lxml}}} (adapted from [http://blog.ianbicking.org/2008/12/10/lxml-an-underappreciated-web-scraping-library/ this blog post])
  * remove other {{{libxml2}}} versions, such as may have been installed by {{{fink}}} or !MacPorts - ONlY works in unmodified python setup. In case you have modified your python you must link some how the python directory with /frameworks/python otherwise lxml will not being found(not tested)
