Clear message

This documents the procedure I used to setup a Grok virtual environment for working on the Viejo content management system. Note that as of September 29th, grokproject 0.9 and grok 0.14 work on python2.5. So the easy_install-2.4 can be omitted.

  • sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-setuptools subversion bzr

  • sudo easy_install virtualenv

  • mkdir viejo_virtualenv

  • cd viejo_virtualenv

  • virtualenv --no-site-packages virtualgrok

  • source virtualgrok/bin/activate

  • easy_install grokproject

  • grokproject Viejo

  • cd Viejo

  • rm -rf setup.py buildout.cfg src

  • bzr checkout lp:~viejo-team/viejo-code/yagni .

  • ./bin/buildout

  • ./bin/test

Now, we're good to go TDD. The main files and directories of our project are:

  • setup.py -> Mostly to include packages required for our project to work

  • buildout.cfg -> Configuration for our instance

  • src/viejo/models.py -> Stores the models of our application. See the Model-view-controller for more

  • src/viejo/tests -> Directory to store our unit doctests

  • src/viejo/ftests -> Directory to store our functional doctests
