I've tried to install django-lfs on window 7using the Quickstart but no luck. The problem is some process has failed but I don't want to spend my time fixing the problem (fix the buildbot, install git, mercurial) so I manually process by look at each dependency in the buildbot.cfg.

Note that I have TortoiseGIT, TortoiseHG installed in my machine and I simply donwload source code from github.

From above script, you need to have following python package available,

• PIL (if you don't have it)

• PySQLite (If you use Python 2.4 or lower)

• svn co http://django-lfs.googlecode.com/svn/lfs/trunk/

• svn co http://django-lfs.googlecode.com/svn/lfstheme/trunk/

• svn co http://django-lfs.googlecode.com/svn/addons/reviews/trunk/

• svn co http://django-portlets.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/portlets/

• svn co http://django-tagging.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tagging

• svn co http://django-pagination.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

• git://github.com/mthornhill/django-paypal.git

• hg clone http://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-contact-form/

• Django, I use Django 1.1

Get example project

• svn co http://django-lfs.googlecode.com/svn/buildouts/quickstart/lfs_project/

Add static files

With default setup, lfs has symbolic of static location to media directory but this doesn't work on Window. I simply copy the source into the directory. Below are directory to be copied,

• lfs/static/ to media/lfs
• /lfstheme/static to medai/

Create the database

Go to your lfs_project and execute python manage.py syncdb. You probably see some error message about cannot import some module. If that is the case, go look at the url in buildbot.cfg and get the source and install it in your python path.

For my settings, I place the lfs-related application at the project directory.

Add fixtures

• python manage.py loaddata lfs/core/fixtures/lfs_initial.xml

You can load more data (lfs-shop, lfs-user).

Start and see your test server

Execute python manage.py runserver and open http://127.0.0.1:8000

Get my source code here. Please note that some django applications is installed in my machine so that there is not include in my source.
