| | | Before You Begin |
| | | ================ |
| | | |
| | | Installation Requirements |
| | | ------------------------- |
| | | |
| | | Follow the steps in :ref:`installing_chapter`, but name the virtualenv |
| | | directory ``pyramidtut``. Following these steps will ensure you have met the |
| | | following requirements: |
| | | This tutorial assumes that you have already followed the steps in |
| | | :ref:`installing_chapter`, thereby satisfying the following |
| | | requirements. |
| | | |
| | | * Python interpreter is installed on your operating system |
| | | * :term:`setuptools` or :term:`distribute` is installed |
| | | * :term:`virtualenv` is installed |
| | | * a virtual Python environment named ``pyramidtut`` has been created |
| | | * Pyramid is installed |
| | | |
| | | UNIX Requirements |

| | | Create and Use a Virtual Python Environment |
| | | ------------------------------------------- |
| | | |
| | | #. Install SQLite3 and its development packages if you don't already |
| | | have them installed. Usually this is via your system's package |
| | | manager. On a Debian system, this would be: |
| | | Next let's create a `virtualenv` workspace for our project. We will |
| | | use the `VENV` environment variable instead of absolute path of the |
| | | virtual environment. |
| | | |
| | | **On UNIX:** |
| | | |
| | | .. code-block:: text |
| | | |
| | | $ export VENV=~/pyramidtut |
| | | $ virtualenv --no-site-packages $VENV |
| | | New python executable in /home/foo/env/bin/python |
| | | Installing setuptools.............done. |
| | | |
| | | **On Windows:** |
| | | |
| | | Set the `VENV` environment variable. |
| | | |
| | | .. code-block:: text |
| | | |
| | | c:\> set VENV=c:\pyramidtut |
| | | |
| | | Versions of Python use different paths, so you will need to adjust the |
| | | path to the command for your Python version. |
| | | |
| | | Python 2.7: |
| | | |
| | | .. code-block:: text |
| | | |
| | | c:\> c:\Python27\Scripts\virtualenv --no-site-packages %VENV% |
| | | |
| | | Python 3.2: |
| | | |
| | | .. code-block:: text |
| | | |
| | | c:\> c:\Python32\Scripts\virtualenv --no-site-packages %VENV% |
| | | |
| | | Install Pyramid Into the Virtual Python Environment |
| | | --------------------------------------------------- |
| | | |
| | | **On UNIX:** |
| | | |
| | | .. code-block:: text |
| | | |
| | | $ $VENV/bin/easy_install pyramid |
| | | |
| | | **On Windows** |
| | | |
| | | .. code-block:: text |
| | | |
| | | c:\env> %VENV%\Scripts\easy_install pyramid |
| | | |
| | | SQLite3 |
| | | ------- |
| | | |
| | | If you used a package manager to install your Python, or if you compiled your Python from source, then you must install SQLite3 and its development packages. If you downloaded your Python from python.org On a Debian system, this would be: |

| | | Making a Project |
| | | ================ |
| | | |
| | | Your next step is to create a project. For this tutorial, we will use the |
| | | :term:`scaffold` named ``alchemy``, which generates an application |
| | | that uses :term:`SQLAlchemy` and :term:`URL dispatch`. :app:`Pyramid` |
| | | supplies a variety of scaffolds to generate sample projects. |
| | | Your next step is to create a project. For this tutorial we will use |
| | | the :term:`scaffold` named ``alchemy`` which generates an application |
| | | that uses :term:`SQLAlchemy` and :term:`URL dispatch`. |
| | | |
| | | :app:`Pyramid` supplies a variety of scaffolds to generate sample |
| | | projects. We will use `pcreate`—a script that comes with Pyramid to |
| | | quickly and easily generate scaffolds usually with a single command—to |
| | | create the scaffold for our project. |
| | | |
| | | By passing in `alchemy` into the `pcreate` command, the script creates |
| | | the files needed to use SQLAlchemy. By passing in our application name |
| | | `tutorial`, the script inserts that application name into all the |
| | | required files. For example, `pcreate` creates the |
| | | ``initialize_tutorial_db`` in the ``pyramidtut/bin`` directory. |
| | | |
| | | The below instructions assume your current working directory is the |
| | | "virtualenv" named "pyramidtut". |
| | |
| | | startup problems, try putting both the virtualenv and the project |
| | | into directories that do not contain spaces in their paths. |
| | | |
| | | `pcreate` is a script that comes with Pyramid that helps by creating and organizing files |
| | | needed as part of a Pyramid project. By passing in `alchemy`, we are asking the script to |
| | | create the files needed to use SQLAlchemy. By passing in our app name `tutorial`, the script |
| | | places that application name in all the different files required. For example, the ``initialize_tutorial_db`` |
| | | that is in the ``pyramidtut/bin`` directory was created by `pcreate`. |

| | | Installing the Project in "Development Mode" |
| | | ============================================ |
| | | Installing the Project in Development Mode |
| | | ========================================== |
| | | |
| | | In order to do development on the project easily, you must "register" |
| | | the project as a development egg in your workspace using the |
| | |
| | | c:\pyramidtut> cd tutorial |
| | | c:\pyramidtut\tutorial> %VENV%\Scripts\python setup.py develop |
| | | |
| | | Success executing this command will end with a line to the console something |
| | | like:: |
| | | The console will show `setup.py` checking for packages and installing |
| | | missing packages. Success executing this command will show a line like |
| | | the following:: |
