Setup And Install¶

Install Prerequisites¶

Install TextCritical Application¶

Configure Initialize Database¶

python manage.py syncdb

Import Works¶

You will need to import the works into the library in order to have something for the site to provide access to. The easy way to do this is to use a prebuilt library. The more difficult way is to import the works yourself.

Using Existing Library¶

To use an existing library, copy the library.sqlite file to the server. By default, it should be placed in the src directory.

Importing Works¶

If you want to import works manually, then following the steps below.

First, initialize the library database.

python manage.py syncdb --database=library

Next, download the relevant works. The Perseus works can be obtained from Perseus.tufts.edu. Decompress the archive.

Start the import process by running the following command substituting "/Users/Luke/Perseus_Directory" with the location where you placed the files:

python manage.py batch_import_perseus -d "/Users/Luke/Perseus_Directory"
