Installation¶

Note

After following this instruction Django JET dashboard won’t be active (as it is located into a separate application). If you want to make it work, you will have to enable dashboard application by following Dashboard Installation steps too.

  • Download and install latest version of Django JET:
pip install django-jet
# or
easy_install django-jet
  • Add ‘jet’ application to the INSTALLED_APPS setting of your Django project settings.py file (note it should be before ‘django.contrib.admin’):
INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'jet',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    ...
)
  • Make sure django.template.context_processors.request context processor is enabled in settings.py (Django 1.8+ way):
TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                ...
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                ...
            ],
        },
    },
]

Warning

Before Django 1.8 you should specify context processors different way. Also use django.core.context_processors.request instead of django.template.context_processors.request.

from django.conf import global_settings

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = global_settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS + (
    'django.core.context_processors.request',
)
  • Add URL-pattern to the urlpatterns of your Django project urls.py file (they are needed for related–lookups and autocompletes):
urlpatterns = patterns(
    '',
    url(r'^jet/', include('jet.urls', 'jet')),  # Django JET URLS
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    ...
)
  • Create database tables:
python manage.py migrate jet
# or
python manage.py syncdb
  • Collect static if you are in production environment:
python manage.py collectstatic
  • Clear your browser cache
