Quick start guide

For using Grappelli, Django 1.4 needs to be installed and an Admin Site has to be activated.

Installation

Using pip:

pip install django-grappelli

Go to https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-grappelli if you need to download a package or clone the repo.

Setup

Open settings.py and add grappelli to your INSTALLED_APPS (before django.contrib.admin):

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'grappelli',
    'django.contrib.admin',
)

Add URL-patterns:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^grappelli/', include('grappelli.urls')),
)

Collect the media files:

python manage.py collectstatic

Testing

Start the devserver and login to your admin site:

python manage.py runserver <IP-address>:8000

Check if everything looks/works as expected. If you’re having problems, see Troubleshooting.
