Help me install on MAC OSX - Booktype Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Chris Jennings

I have tried and tried with the instructions here: https://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/booktype-21-for-authors-and-publishers/manual-installation-on-os-x/

This is too tricky for me... Redis is running, but I fail at the last hurdle running manage.py.

Would it be easier just running this under Apache?

Hi Chris,

Redis and Apache do two different jobs on a Booktype server. You always need Redis but Apache is optional, there are several other web servers available for the public-facing pages.

At the end of the OS X tutorial we aim to have a test server running, which does not require Apache. Which manage.py step failed for you, and what was the output please?

Cheers!

Daniel

Had the same issue, couldn't get manage.py command to run. Kicked out error "command not found". Running OSX.

Hi Damian, in the target directory such as $HOME/mybooktype does the manage.py file exist?

Howdy, Stranger!
