EXAMPLE QUESTION | Setting up Python Packages Path for Django Application
I'm currently hosting with a dreamhost shared VPS, and I do not have sudo rights. I want to install django packages, but I cannot to usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
because python is root access only. I have setup a directory in my user directory also called dist-packages to which I have copied all my packages to. I want to use the packages in the dist-packages directory I created to build my django app.
Python 2.7 Django 1.9
My current setup
/home/myuser/mydomain.com/
env/
myApp/
passenger_wsgi.py
public/
How do I setup the env?
You can use
virtualenv
in the terminal to create an isolated python directory of your choice and install everything in there.This post has received a 9.35 % upvote from @booster thanks to: @finkavenue.
