EXAMPLE QUESTION | Setting up Python Packages Path for Django Application

finkavenue (53)in #steemdevqna • 7 years ago

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?

#python #django #ubuntu #env

You can use virtualenv in the terminal to create an isolated python directory of your choice and install everything in there.
