Install git
It's an insult in British English, but git is also an awesome version control tool. Here's how you install it:
Go to this page on google code and download the latest file ending in "-x86_64-leopard.dmg" (1.7.2.3 as of this writing). If you're at a workshop and you need this file, please ask a volunteer - we might have it on a thumb drive, and that'd save you a bunch of time downloading. Once it's downloaded, double click to open. You'll see something like this:
Double-click the .pkg file to install. Once that's done, close all your open Terminal windows, and open a new one. Cut and paste the following into the new Terminal window:
git --version
It should respond with something like "git version 1.7.2.3".
Tell git who you are
- Open up a new Terminal window.
git config --global user.name "Your Actual Name"
git config --global user.email "Your Actual Email"
(Must be same email you use to sign up for Heroku [see below]. Also must be accessible from the workshop.)
If this doesn't produce an error, congratulations! You have a successful install of git and you can move on to the next section.
Django
- Open a Terminal and type:
cd /tmp/ curl -L http://www.djangoproject.com/download/1.2.5/tarball/ -o Django-1.2.5.tar.gz tar zxvf Django-1.2.5.tar.gz cd Django-1.2.5 sudo python setup.py install
Make sure Django is working
- Open a Python prompt, and type this in:
import django
If you get an error, get help! Otherwise, you're done.
