Experiment 2:
Aim: Setup and Configure Cloud application development platform(Django).
Requirements: Python(2.7.x or 3.4.x), virtualenv, Django, Any IDE(Microsoft Visual Code,
Atom), easy_install, pip.
Setting up the cloud environment of Django involves installation of Python, Django. Since
Django deals with web application, we would need a web server setup as well.
Step 1: Installing Python
Since we're on Mac OS X, Python is probably installed already. We can verify it by typing
following command at a terminal. If the output is something like this, then Python is
installed.

python --version

Otherwise download and install the latest version of Python from the link
http://www.python.org/download

Step 2: Installing Django

First install pip using easy_install and then using pip install virtualenv.
Open Terminal and create a folder named cloudapp on desktop using the following
command

virtualenv cloudapp

This will create a virtual environment named cloudapp. Change directory to this folder. Enter
the following command to activate the virtual environment.

source bin/activate

You will see (cloudapp) before all your prompt which means you’re running within the
cloudapp virtualenv.
Install Django by running the following command

python -m pip install Django

Verify the installation using the following command:

python -m django --version

Step 3: Web Server
Django comes with a pre-configured lightweight web server for developing and testing
applications. This web server restarts whenever you modify the code.
