Dependencies

• Python >=2.4
• Django 1.0
• Either MySQLdb or psycopg2 if you're using mysql or postgresql.
• python-openid 2.x (1.x is not supported and looks like it wouldn't)
• BeautifulSoup 3.0.4
• ElementTree, if you are using python < 2.5
• Python Imaging Library, if you need to use CAPTCHA (reCAPTCHA does not need it)

Setup byteflow

• Download: hg clone http://hg.piranha.org.ua/byteflow/
• Create file settings_local.py from example settings_local.py.template in same dir and modify accordingly to your wishes. You can read help in Django docs.
• If you are using mysql or postgres, create user and database.
• Run ./manage.py syncdb (it is located in byteflow directory)
• Then just follow any (1, 2, anything else) tutorial on Django install. We're recommending use of apache + mod_wsgi as most stable and fastest setup.

Notes

• Common mistake - if you are using SQLite, make sure the database and its parent directory are writable by the user which runs Byteflow itself (mod_python installations runs as Apache user).
• Read about Debug mode to be prepared - you must configure your web-server.
