Setting up Doorsale e-commerce
Doorsale demo repository is for quickly getting up and running e-commerce site on your local workstation, its readme contains all steps to setting up a site.
When you have enough testing on prepopulated data in demo projects, starting your own site from skretch is similar to creating project in Django.
Create a new virtualenv for your own e-commerce project
$ virtualenv doorsale_env && source doorsale_env/bin/activate
Install the latest development version from this git repository.
$ pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/mysteryjeans/doorsale.git#egg=Doorsale
Create a e-commerce project using doorsale-admin.py instead of using django-admin.py.
$ doorsale-admin.py startproject doorsale_site
Create database schema by running migrate command, by default django project use SQLite, which off course you can changed in settings.py, if you are new to databases this is good choice to start with. Migrate command will also load initial data in database as well.
$ python manage.py migrate
Node.js is required for LESS & javascript preprocessing, assuming node.js is already installed, let's verify that your site works, run development server and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000, you will see products catalog index page with no products and categories
$ python manage.py runserver
Django-Pipeline settings is configured to use LESS & Yuglify node.js packages for static files preprocessing & compression. When you deploy your site with collectstatic command these packages will be called. You can install both packages with npm (node.js package manager).
$ npm install -g less yuglify
Demo repository is following master branch on Doorsale, so you should pull changes frequently to keep things synchronized and running smoothly, see demo project readme for more details.
