Get Demisauce

There is no packaged release yet, so get the source from subversion (requires Python, SqlLite or MySQL, python libraries: ez_setup):

To get Just the server

svn checkout https://demisauce.googlecode.com/svn/demisauce/trunk/ demisauce

To get the servers, libraries, and demo's

svn checkout http://demisauce.googlecode.com/svn/ demisauce

Install Demisauce Server

In the folder that you downloaded the source will be a few folders (Demisauce, Demisaucepy, dotnet, demos, etc), change directories into the /demisauce/trunk/ and install it by running this at the command line.

>>> python setup.py develop

then in the same directory Make a config file as follows::

>>> paster make-config demisauce development.ini

The default database is Sqllite, if you want to use MySQL (which requires MySQLDB python library) Tweak the config file for MySQL username, password, and server.

   sqlalchemy.default.url = mysql://demisauce:password@localhost/demisauce_dev

Run the app setup which will create the tables, and default data in the database.

>>> paster setup-app development.ini

Then you are ready to go: to load dev server

>>> paster serve --reload development.ini

Browse to http://localhost:4950/account/signin and use the account which was created for you guest@demisauce.org and guest for username/password.

You can now use one of the examples in the /demos/ folders. See .NET Web Demo Installation Instructions or there is a pylons demo as well

To get the server running I had to install the Google Data Library: http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=75582&topic=12022#introduction

Might want to add that to the installation instructions.

Also, guest@demisauce.org account was not created.

Only accounts created were:

demisauce sysadmin username = sysadmin@demisauce.org password = admin

demisauce site admin username = admin@demisauce.org password = admin

Are the instructions still working? I am getting an error in one of the steps above:

paster make-config demisauce development.ini Must install demisauce Searching for demisauce Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/demisauce/ Couldn't find index page for 'demisauce' (maybe misspelled?) Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while) Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/ No local packages or download links found for demisauce error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('demisauce')
