Installation

Django-orchestra ships with a set of management commands for automating some of the installation steps.

These commands are meant to be run within a clean Debian-like distribution, you should be specially careful while following this guide on a customized system.

Django-orchestra can be manually installed on any Linux system, however it is strongly recommended to chose the reference platform for your deployment (Debian 8.0 Jessie and Python 3.4).

1. Create a system user for running Orchestra

   adduser orchestra
   # not required but it will be very handy
   sudo adduser orchestra sudo
   su - orchestra
   

2. Install django-orchestra's source code

   sudo apt-get install python3-pip
   sudo pip3 install http://git.io/django-orchestra-dev
