Let's prepare the development environment with the latest Django 1.9 using Python 3.5, GIT and VirtualEnvWrapper. I recommend using MobaXtexm to login into your Vbox using SSH keys.
Update Ubuntu to the latest patches and security updates and improvements:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install build-essential python2.7 python2.7-dev python3.4 python3.4-dev python3.5 python3.5-dev sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client sudo systemctl status mysql sudo apt-get install apache2 sudo systemctl status apache2 sudo apt-get install python2.7-mysqldb python3.4-mysqldb python3.5-mysqldb libmysqlclient-dev sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libreadline6-dev libgdbm-dev sudo apt-get install zip zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev sudo apt-get install python-pip python3-pip sudo apt-get install git virtualenv virtualenvwrapperAdd python alternatives for more flexibility:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 10 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.4 1 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.5 2Make sure all is in it's place:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgradeModify file .bashrc for VirtualEnv use:
vim ~/.bashrc if [ -f /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh ]; then export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh fi source ~/.bashrcNow let's create the working environment:
mkvirtualenv some-project-name pip3 install Django==1.9Make sure we are running the intended version, start a python 3.5 session, import django and check the version:
python3.5 >>> import django >>> print(django.get_version()) 1.9Prepare to create the initial Django setup:
mkdir src; cd src django-admin startproject some-project-name cd some-project-name python3.5 manage.py migrate python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080We point out browser to the needed site to check (Virtual Box was previously setup for port forwarding): http://127.0.0.1:8888
Finally we setup a basic Git repo:
cd some-project-name git init git config --global user.name 'Your Name' git config --global user.email your.address@your.provider
