Linux install docs #523

Closed twelch closed 12 years ago

twelch commented 12 years ago

Include documentation on how to setup and run Madrona on Windows and Mac. Maybe a walkthrough of sorts. I recognize that in the Sphinx docs even for Linux it glosses over setting up postgres and other things. We should consider how to handle this, we want to lower barriers to entry where possible and be inclusive of Windows folks in particular. Deployment on IIS under Windows is possible to my knowledge.

Maybe I could break this up and Scott could take Windows

Yeah I've never set it up on windows so Scott would be the best guy for that.

In terms of the other platforms, those docs were written for Mac but work identically in Linux. The only place they differ is in installing the dependencies.

We had originally deferred all the dependencies setup to the geodjango docs - mainly because we didn't think we could do it any better. But given ~ two weeks, we could probably write up some solid start-to-finish docs for all platforms.

The sphinx docs to linux are complete and tested on a vanilla ubuntu install. Details here: https://github.com/Ecotrust/madrona/wiki/Ubuntu-vanilla-install-notes
