How do I run this?

April 9, 2012 ยท View on GitHub

  1. Do a git clone to "pdfxray" - the project won't work if your folder holding the source is not labeled this (blame django).
  2. Download the following items:

django - https://www.djangoproject.com/ django-pagination - http://code.google.com/p/django-pagination/ python setuptools - http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools python matplotlib - pulled from ubuntu repos mongo - http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Ubuntu+and+Debian+packages mysql - pulled from ubuntu repos python-mysqldb - pulled from ubuntu repos pymongo - https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-python-driver python ghostscript - http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ghostscript python-simplejson - http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simplejson/

  1. Fill in the settings with your database information for mysql
  2. Add to your Apache Site settings - WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/pdfxray/django.wsgi
  3. Run a python manage.py syncdb
  4. Should be good to go

Is this the same copy from PDFXRAY.com?

Indeed

Are there any catches to all of this?

No, but you should share. Sharing is caring.
