Get started instructions don't work on Windows

Open trickidicki opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Instructions say:

  • Clone this repo (don't forget to change the origin to your own repo!)
  • Run ./install_deps (this will pip install requirements, and download the App Engine SDK)
  • Run ./rename_scaffold_app.sh my_new_app_name to rename the 'scaffold' app (and all references to it)
  • Run python manage.py checksecure --settings=my_new_app_name.settings_live to run all security checks. Replace my_new_app_name with your new app name.
  • python manage.py runserver

Step 2 should say "Run python ./install_deps" Step 3 - Windows can't run .sh directly. Using Git Bash.vbs runs but generates errors. Step 4 - there is no manage.py in the base directory. I presume you have to run the one in djangae-scaffold? This fails. Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 11, in from djangae.core.management import execute_from_command_line ImportError: No module named djangae.core.management
