How to install it the first time

Make sure you have python and appengine installed on your machine.

Create a new Application on [https://appengine.google.com/](Google App Engine). Make sure to keep the default settings, especially "High Replication" Storage.

Download the zip of the current version and unpack it somewhere.

edit the app.yaml file in the main directory, and change the first line to: application: yourappid where yourappid is the app id you selected when creating your application.

If you really care about security, generate a random key using 'os.urandom(64)' and put it in appengine_config.py

Deploy it: appcfg.py update . from inside the main directory (where app.yaml lives). Or on windows, something like this c:\Python27\python "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\appcfg.py" update .

Ok... almost there.

In a web browser, visit yourappid.appspot.com/api/admin/# (substitute yourappid for yours)

Login with the google user you used to create your google app engine application.

It will then redirect you to /api/admin/DoAdminStuff

Click (the 1st button) Restore all files from backup

Then go back to /api/admin/DoAdminStuff

And click (the 2nd button) Restore all page and domain stuff in datastore

One more time, back to /api/admin/DoAdminStuff

And now click (the 4th button) Invalidate Builds

And we're done!

Go to "/" to see that the installation worked, and start playing... a good page to start on is /account/admin
