Installing web2py

[Rahul Choudhary]

I am using a Chromebook which can run only web based applications. How can i use web2py for development? I cannot download and install. I am a student and I want to learn web development. Is there any way I can use web2py or any other framework?

You may try this : https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/dEdQh9tQR9g/_0JQM19IznsJ

Though I think the web2py instance get delete on day basis... But you can just pack your app and go over the process again the next day...

You can simply use PythonAnywhere on https://www.pythonanywhere.com , which is also covered in the official documentation (http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/13/deployment-recipes#Deploying-on-PythonAnywhere)

As they say: "PythonAnywhere is a Python development and hosting environment that displays in your web browser and runs on our servers. They're already set up with everything you need. It's easy to use, fast, and powerful. There's even a useful free plan.". You could be easy developing with Web2py in few minutes!

Cheers,

Nico

Pythonanywhere is good. You get a shell so you can edit in the terminal, access github etc.
If your budget stretches to USD $5 a month, you can get an entire virtual server from digitalocean.put Ubuntu on it and follow the web2py book. This is more setup work, but you learn more too.
In both cases you can use the increasingly capable browser-based editor of web2py as well as terminal editors.
