Getting started

===============
|
|
|
|
Wagtail is built on the `Django web framework <https://www.djangoproject.com/>`_, so this document assumes you've already got the essentials installed. But if not, those essentials are:
|
|
|
|
* `Python <https://www.python.org/downloads/>`_
|
|
* `pip <https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html>`_ (Note that pip is included by default with Python 2.7.9 and later and Python 3.4 and later)
|
|
|
|
We'd also recommend Virtualenv, which provides isolated Python environments:
|
|
|
|
* `Virtualenv <https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/installation.html>`_
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
Before installing Wagtail, it is necessary to install the **libjpeg** and **zlib** libraries, which provide support for working with JPEG, PNG and GIF images (via the Python **Pillow** library). The way to do this varies by platform - see Pillow's `platform-specific installation instructions <http://pillow.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html#external-libraries>`_.
|
|
|
|
With the above installed, the quickest way to install Wagtail is::
|
|
|
|
pip install wagtail
|
|
|
|
(``sudo`` may be required if installing system-wide or without virtualenv)
|
|
|
|
Once installed, Wagtail provides a command similar to Django's ``django-admin startproject`` which stubs out a new site/project::
|
|
|
|
wagtail start mysite
|
|
|
|
This will create a new folder ``mysite``, based on a template containing all you need to get started. More information on that template is available :doc:`here </reference/project_template>`.
|
|
|
|
Inside your ``mysite`` folder, we now just run the setup steps necessary for any Django project::
|
|
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
./manage.py migrate
|
|
./manage.py createsuperuser
|
|
./manage.py runserver
|
|
|
|
Your site is now accessible at ``http://localhost:8000``, with the admin backend available at ``http://localhost:8000/admin/``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a few optional packages which are not installed by default but are recommended to improve performance or add features to Wagtail, including:
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Elasticsearch </advanced_topics/performance>`.
|
|
* :ref:`image_feature_detection`.
