Installation on MacOSX

Download Sahana Eden

If NOT being a Developer, then you can get the last stable release from:

• ​http://launchpad.net/sahana-eden/trunk/0.4.8/+download/web2py.app.eden-0.4.8.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-r2084.zip

Launch Web2Py

• web2py.exe
• Select a Password
• 'click here for the administrative interface'
• Enter same password

Install Sahana

• upload application: web2py.app.eden-0.4.8.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 ​this blog post)
  • remove other libxml2 versions, such as may have been installed by fink or MacPorts
