cookiecutter-mezzanine

A cookiecutter template for Mezzanine.

Features

First, get cookiecutter. Trust me, it's awesome:

$ pip install cookiecutter

Now run it against this repo:

$ cookiecutter https://github.com/mauriziobit/cookiecutter-mezzanine.git

You'll be prompted for some questions, answer them, then it will create a Mezzanine project for you.

Then you can enter in the new project directory:

$ cd <repo_name>

The steps below will get you up and running with a local development environment. We assume you have the following installed:

First make sure to create and activate a virtualenv, then open a terminal at the project root and install the requirements for local development:

$ pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

Now run the createdb command:

$ python manage.py createdb

And answer to all the question that will be prompted.

The last step is collect all the static files:

$ python manage.py collectstatic

You can now run the usual Django runserver command:

$ python yourapp/manage.py runserver
