Installing Lino Algus

• 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 Algus repository:

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

• Use pip to install this as editable package:

  pip install -e algus
  

• 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_algus.lib.algus.settings import *
  
  
  class Site(Site):
      title = "Our Lino Algus 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.
