Getting started

This document is designed to get you up and running with django-pdf...

Prerequisites

These are the requirements to run django-pdf:

• Python 2.4+ (Python 3.x is not supported yet)
• Django 1.2+
• boto
• celery
• ghettomq (This is optional, in case you don’t want to use RabbitMQ)

These dependencies should be added to your requirements/project.txt file and installed using pip. For example:

pip install -r requirements/project.txt

In addition to the software requirements outlined above, you will need an Amazon AWS account that has EC2 services enabled to be able to run background jobs on the cloud.
