How to install on mac

I'm having a lot of trouble getting projecthq to install - right now I'm stuck because I don't know how to find the path to projecthq to put in the config file - how do I determine where it's being installed?

 

Re: How to install on mac

Which config file are you referring to?

Because Project HQ is a Python application, it is deployed to your server in Python's "site-packages" or "dist-packages" directory. The Project HQ directory referred to in the documentation is a location where you store various project-related files, like the configuration and the .wsgi files.

My recommended setup is to have a base directory, "/home/projecthq" for example, an "etc" directory within that which contains the configuration file and the .wsgi file, a "data" directory for cached templates and sessions (if you're not using something like memcached) and a "logs" directory for log files.

I'll update the documentation to reflect this setup.
