Installation¶
Pre-requisites¶
For image processing, wiki-base uses the Pillow library (a fork of PIL). The preferred method should be to get a system-wide, pre-compiled version of Pillow, for instance by getting the binaries from your Linux distribution repos.
Debian-based Linux Distros¶
You may find this a bit annoying: On Ubuntu 12.04 and Debian, PIL is satisfied by installing python-imaging, however Pillow is not! On later versions of Ubuntu (tested on 13.10), Pillow is satisfied, but PIL is not. But since PIL no longer compiles on later releases of Ubuntu, we have opted to use Pillow. The alternative would be that wiki-base’s requirements would be installed and silently fail (i.e. PIL from pip compiles on Ubuntu 13+ but finds no system libraries for image processing).
If you are on Ubuntu 13+, you may install a system-wide Pillow-adequate library like so:
sudo apt-get install python-imaging
After, you can verify that Pillow is satisfied by running pip show Pillow.
$ pip show Pillow
---
Name: Pillow
Version: 2.0.0
Location: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
On Ubuntu 12.04, Debian Wheezy, Jessie etc., you should acquire a system-wide installation of Pillow, read next section...
Pip installation¶
Firstly, you need to get development libraries that PIP needs before compiling. For instance on Debian/Ubuntu 12.04:
sudo apt-get install libjpeg8 libjpeg-dev libpng libpng-dev
Later versions of Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libjpeg8 libjpeg-dev libpng12-0 libpng12-dev
After that, install with sudo pip install Pillow. You might as well install Pillow system-wide, because there are little version-specific dependencies in Django applications when it comes to Pillow, and having multiple installations of the very same package is a bad practice in this case.
Mac OS X 10.5+¶
Ethan Tira-Thompson has created ports for OS X and made them available as a .dmg installer. Download and install the universal combo package here.
Once you have the packages installed, you can proceed to the pip installation. PIL will automatically pick up these libraries and compile them for django use.
Install¶
To install the latest stable release: pip install wiki-base
Or alternatively you can grab latest from source: pip install git+git://github.com/skakri/django-wiki-base.git
Configure settings.INSTALLED_APPS¶
The following applications should be listed - NB! it’s important to maintain the order due to database relational constraints:
'django.contrib.humanize',
'south',
'mptt',
'sekizai',
'sorl.thumbnail',
'wiki',
'wiki.plugins.attachments',
'wiki.plugins.images',
'wiki.plugins.macros',
