There is nothing special about this. Following our official installation documentation [1] will yield the results you are looking for.

Instead of walking into a dark room and shooting let's turn on the light and provide some more details. What is not working for you? How is it failing? These sorts of details are going to get your further in getting the right answer.

thanks greg,


$ python scripts/pinax-boot.py <path-to-virtual-env-to-create>

error @ this FIRST part, bro...

and this is the error message:
"python: can't open file 'scriptss/pinax-boot.py': [Errno 2] No such
file or directory"

So, do you have any suggestion for me to do? maybe, about path or anything else

just 'g'?
command not found bro!

maybe because i use bash command directly (without console or user
interface), so i found this difficult problem.

FYI, i just using command @ this ubuntu server without any console

setiawan,

the error you posted contained an error, you entered 'scriptss' apparently, instead of 'scripts'


"python: can't open file 'scriptss/pinax-boot.py': [Errno 2] No such
file or directory"

this is the latest tutorial i've found about installing pinax.

i am really confused at this point

Downloading Pinax and associated applications and libraries:

$ svn checkout http://svn.pinaxproject.com/pinax/trunk/ pinax

I am using version 0.5.0rc1. Things might be different if you use a newer version.

because that link is no longer work and its version was so old


anyone know the new link?

I see part of the problem. That particular tutorial was written by someone who wrote it off the Pinax development code. Which was a horrible mistake on their part. We've asked them to take down or update their tutorial.

Anyway, the location of the Pinax code is here:


In fact, it would be best that you follow the documentation and information on the pinaxproject site:


Good luck!

You don't have permissions on the directory...

Man... installing pinax on a linux box when one doesn't understand
linux yet must be tough. :D

You need to have the correct permissions in the directory in which you are trying to create your Pinax project called 'mysite' or whatever.

The Pinax root is not a good place to put a project. As for the error you found, that seems to be a bug.

A better place is to put it somewhere else. I keep a projects directory on my laptop and put all work there. So for example, if I create a new project named Tabula-Rasa I do this:

pinax-admin clone_project social_project ~/projects/Tabula-Rasa

And I make sure I have write permissions in the projects directory. That means I either assign them to myself or ask a system administrator to give me such rights.

Wishes for a happy new year to all pinax dev and users,

sad so please please maeyleafv read and memorize the debian manual and
reference

http://www.debian.org/doc/

stop annoying people during the holidays, sorry everyone for trowing gas
on the fire but remember,

linux in of everyone not for everyone, I believe if you want real
support any of the pinax developers will help you for cash after the
holidays if you need so much real help for a real project.
otherwise again I repeat study what linux is or install django for windows.

I was a amature myself and it took me 10 years to get my LPI licence and
to feel really confortable on linux. I don't mean that you should take
10 years to learn linux, but what I mean is that you cannot drive a car
if you don't even know where to plug the key in.

happy holiday to everyone, enjoy your family, friends, the good food and
the december weather wherever you are. And thanks again for this
collection of django apps and for the patient you have with all us
amatures | noobs.
