Question

Answer 1

Follow installation for development, It's also ok for Django 1.6.1

Here is quick steps:

Install django:

pip install django==1.6.1

Install django-cms (It will install all requirements of it):

pip install https://github.com/divio/django-cms/archive/3.0.0.beta3.zip

Install django-cms recommended:

pip install djangocms-text-ckeditor
pip install pillow # http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pillow (windows) 
pip install django-filer

Create a sample django project:

cd ~/workspace
django-admin.py startproject myproject

Edit settings.py as described.

Also be sure to have 'django.contrib.sites' in INSTALLED_APP and set SITE_ID parameter in your settings:

SITE_ID = 1

Then run following cmds from myproject directory to create, sync, update and check your db:

python manage.py syncdb --all
python manage.py migrate --fake

python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py migrate

python manage.py cms check

Finally run your server:

python manage.py runserver

Go to home page, and now you must see Installation successful! in django-cms home page, try to login and start adding pages.
