For Debian or Ubuntu users, first install the following packages (Debian and Ubuntu packages):
cubicweb, cubicweb-dev, cubicweb-blog
For Windows or Mac OS X users, you must install cubicweb from source (see Install from source and Windows installation).
Then create and initialize your instance:
cubicweb-ctl create blog myblog
And start it:
cubicweb-ctl start -D myblog
The -D option is the debugging mode of cubicweb, removing it will lauch the instance in the background.
This command assumes that you have root access to the /etc/ path. In order to initialize your instance as a user (from scratch), please check your current PYTHONPATH then create the ~/etc/cubicweb.d directory.
If you would like to change some instance parameters, for example, the database host or the user name, edit the source file located in the /etc/cubicweb.d/myblog directory.
Then relaunch the database creation:
cubicweb-ctl db-create myblog
Other paramaters, like web server or emails parameters, can be modified in the all-in-one.conf file.
This is it. Your blog is running. Visit http://localhost:8080 and enjoy it! This blog is fully functionnal. The next section section will present the way to develop new cubes and customizing the look of your instance.
