Creating a Django development environment

Install basic tools

$ sudo pacman -S      \
    python-pip        \
    python-virtualenv \
    python-virtualenvwrapper

Load virtualenvwrapper

$ source /usr/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
$ echo /usr/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh >> ~/.bashrc

Create an env for a project called pao_na_chapa

$ mkvirtualenv pao_na_chapa -p /usr/bin/python2

Install Django

$ pip install Django==1.6

Create a Django project

(pao_na_chapa)$ django-admin startproject pao_na_chapa
(pao_na_chapa)$ cd pao_na_chapa
(pao_na_chapa)$ ./manage.py syncdb --noinput
(pao_na_chapa)$ ./manage.py runserver

At this point, https://127.0.0.1:8000 should be accessible in the browser
