python / django image search 1. install django a. use "easy_install" install "pip", easy_install was already install on my mac (maybe a standard part of python?) sudo easy_install pip b. use "pip" to install "django", current version (at time of writing) is 1.4.2 sudo pip install django 2. get the askdorotka code git clone git://github.com/ajm/askdorotka.git 3. cd askdorotka 4. download and extract the VOC 2007 dataset wget http://pascallin.ecs.soton.ac.uk/challenges/VOC/voc2007/VOCtest_06-Nov-2007.tar tar xf VOCtest_06-Nov-2007.tar 5. initialise the database of images ./initialise.sh VOCdevkit this command will ask if you want to set up a superuser account to the django server, just select "no" for now, I think it is easy to do later + askdorotka was not designed to be managed, you basically have to just kill the whole database and start over... go grab a coffee, this might take a while... 6. start the django server python manage.py runserver 7. in a web browser go to http://localhost:8000/start
