To install Ella CMS, make sure you have Python 2.5 or greater installed.

Then run this command from the command prompt:

    python setup.py install

Or install latest Ella CMS from PyPi:

    pip install ella

This installs all Ella dependencies, except binary packages such as PIL
and database driver of your choice.


For development, we recommend use virtualenv (and wrapper) like this:

    $ git clone git://github.com/ella/ella.git
    $ cd ella
    $ mkvirtualenv ella
    $ pip install -r dev_requirements.txt

Then you can test this installation:

    $ cd test_ella
    $ ./test_ella/run_tests.py
