.. _install: Installation ============ .. contents:: :local: Download the library -------------------- Firstly, you'll need to install ``django-recurrence`` from PyPI. The easiest way to do this is with pip:: pip install django-recurrence Then, make sure ``recurrence`` is in your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting: .. code-block:: python INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'recurrence', ) Supported Django and Python versions ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Currently, django-recurrence supports Python 3.6 and Python 3.7. django-recurrence works with Django 1.11, 2.1 and 2.2. Set up internationalization --------------------------- .. note:: This step is currently mandatory, but may be bypassed with an extra bit of javascript. See :issue:`47` for details. Using a translation of django-recurrence other than ``en`` requires that django-recurrence's JavaScript can access the translation strings. This is handled with Django's built in ``javascript_catalog`` view, which you must install by adding the following to your project ``urls.py`` file: .. code-block:: python import django from django.conf.urls import url from django.views.i18n import JavaScriptCatalog # Your normal URLs here... # If you already have a js_info_dict dictionary, just add # 'recurrence' to the existing 'packages' tuple. js_info_dict = { 'packages': ('recurrence', ), } # jsi18n can be anything you like here urlpatterns += [ url(r'^jsi18n/$', JavaScriptCatalog.as_view(), js_info_dict), ] Configure static files ---------------------- django-recurrence includes some static files (all to do with rendering the JavaScript widget that makes handling recurring dates easier). To ensure these are served correctly, you'll probably want to ensure you also have ``django.contrib.staticfiles`` in your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting, and run:: python manage.py collectstatic .. note:: After collecting static files, you can use ``{{ form.media }}`` to include recurrence's static files within your templates.
