Installing Lino Shop

• Install Lino (the framework) as documented in Install your Lino developer environment

• Go to your repositories directory and download also a copy of the Lino Shop repository:

  cd ~/repositories
  git clone https://github.com/lino-framework/shop
  

• Use pip to install this as editable package:

  pip install -e shop
  

• Create a local Lino project as explained in Create your first Lino site.

• Change your project’s settings.py file so that it looks as follows:

  from lino_shop.projects.shop.settings import *
  
  
  class Site(Site):
      title = "Our Lino Shop site"
  
  
  SITE = Site(globals())
  DEBUG = True
  

  The first line is Python way to specify encoding (PEP 263). That’s needed because of the non-ascii ì of “Lino Noi” in line 3.
