Suggested alternative to the install instructions #16

Currently the NOW install instructions suggest to install Evennia and then run evennia --init NOW. This will create the new empty game folder but it looks like NOW is itself distributed as a game directory already.

Here is a suggested alternative way for installing NOW with Evennia:

  1. Install Evennia as normal, up to the point where the evennia command is working in your virtualenv.
  2. git clone https://github.com/Pinacolada64/NOW.git (creates a new cloned NOW folder)
  3. cd NOW
  4. You already include the settings.py file in the repo, otherwise a user could do evennia --initsettings to create a new, empty settings.py in NOW/server/conf/ only for them.
  5. evennia migrate
  6. evennia start

(Also note that if using the settings.py file included in this repo one should change the SECRET_KEY string in it before it's used in a production server).
