Step 1: Downloading Skeletonz

You can obtain Skeletonz from our download page. Extract this on your desktop (or similar location).

Step 2: Configuring

Edit general_config.py. This file is commented and it should be trivial to edit it.

Step 3: Getting it started

Be sure that you have created a database for Skeletonz, and that you can connect to the database server (or else you are going to get an error when you start the server).

Are you ready!? From a terminal type:

python launch_server.py

This is going to initialize the site (connect to the database server, create database tables if necessary etc.) and start the server on the port from general_config.py. To see your website type this URL in your browser:

http://localhost:PORT/

PORT could be 14002 or similar, check general_config.py.

Mastering Skeletonz

A great idea would be to browse around the articles found in:

• user guide
• developer guide

If you need to setup Skeletonz for production use, then read following:

• general_config.py tweaks
• Running Skeletonz behind Apache
• Running Skeletonz behind Delegate

Have fun!
