Objective

After going through this setup document, you will have a Python, git, and Django environment that lets you write Python code locally. You will be able to use Github.com and git to track changes to the code you write.

This document is available on the web; if you have a printed copy, you can see the URL on the last page. You can always refer back to it, or show it to other people.


ColorWall Setup

The ColorWall project has no dependencies on common, modern Linux, OS X, and Windows distributions. To confirm that you have no dependencies to install, run:

import Tkinter

at a Python prompt. If that command results in an ImportError, let a staff member know and we'll help get your dependencies set up.


Section 1: Accounts on the web

Time: 15 minutes, hopefully.

You're going to need accounts on:

  • Alwaysdata.com: They will run your Django code and let other people access it over the web.
  • Github.com: You will use them to store versions of your code.

Alwaysdata account

Alwaysdata.com lets you create a free hosting account. You'll give them your name and email address and set a password that you'll use to log into the account.

Note: They will send you your password by email. If you feel queasy about receiving your password by email, then use one that you don't mind receiving.

On the back of this piece of paper, take a moment to write down the username, email address, and maybe password that you used to sign up for the Alwaydata.com account.

Github.com

Github.com is the most popular git-based service you can use to store files.
