This is an open sourse release of a representative site for Kiuss Collective built using Django framework. You can freely use templates and styles or the entire code to make your own gallery sites.

You need to have these packages to be installed on your computer:

• python 2.7
• pip
• virtualenv

These packages are also required and could be installed with pip using requirements.txt file:

• Django 1.8
• Pillow
• sorl-thumbnail

To do so, run

[sudo] pip install -r requirements.txt

To deploy this project on you machine just clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/chschtsch/kiuss.git

Then create your local_settings.py file in kiuss directory using local_settings_example.py example.

Also, read the docs for Django 1.8, used in this project.

To set up your virtual environment, just run

virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

This will create env directory in project root and install all required packages locally.

For more information on usage read virtualenv docs.

You can always customize your site to run apache2, nginx or whatever you need. But here is how to make initial set up and a test run on development server.
