Django CMS

How can I use Django CMS in pythonanywhere ? How install it ?

The best thing to do is to install a recent version of Django in a virtualenv (see this tutorial for doing that with Django 1.4) then do a

pip install django-cms

Inside the virtualenv. Give that a go and let us know if you have any problems!

ty giles , I followed that tutorial but the prompt doesn't gain the (django14) prefix , what must I do ?

can I install django CMS normally (with django 1.3) ? what's the difference ?

Could you copy/paste what you see in the console into a message here? Or just email it to support@pythonanywhere.com or use the "Send feedback" link at the top of the page if you're worried about privacy.

The current version of Django-CMS needs Django >= 1.4, which is why I'm suggesting using a virtualenv. There might be an older version that supports Django 1.3, but we definitely have users using the latest version, and I assume it's better than the older ones ;-)

ty giles , I added "source virtualenvwrapper.sh" to bashrc and it works now .

I used the djangocms-installer , but it is taking forever and putting me in the tarpit. Can anyone help?

The best thing to do is just to wait -- when you're in the tarpit, things will run more slowly, but they will still run and will complete eventually.
