3. App installs

PrevNext

Know which apps you need?

Assuming an activated environment… install modules using pip,

pip install moduleName

App Registration

Most plugins require activation. The modern method is in settings.py, like this,

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
     # Special
    'review.apps.ReviewConfig',
]

Further work

Most apps require some further setup and a migration. See the documentation for the app.

Requirements.txt

Every now and then, write out a requirement file

pip freeze > requirements.txt

If you need to load a ‘requirements.txt’,

pip install -r requirements.txt
