Start project

1. Enter your virtualenv for wagtail (mine is wagtail)

    workon wagtail
   

2. Create your wagtail project (e.g. wagtail_blog). NB the wagtail_blog directory is created by this.

   wagtail start wagtail_blog
   

3. Change directory to the project directory:

   cd wagtail_blog
   

4. Install requirements:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

5. Create the migration command mm:

    python manage.py makemigrations
    python manage.py migrate
   

   Save as mm and make runnable.

6. Migrate:

   python manage.py migrate
   

7. Create superuser:

    python manage.py createsuperuser
   

8. Check it works by running the server and opening url: 127.0.0.1 (to use the default port 8000)

    python manage.py runserver
   

   or if you want to use port 8100:

    python manage.py runserver 8100
   

The default wagtail site page should appear.

This basic project contains three apps:

• my app wagtail_blog;
• home;
• search.
