I wanted to use Ubuntu for web dev projects, but I need windows for some the banking system in Korea, so I set up dual boot on my little laptop. I'm writing it here so when I need to do it again, I'll have it all right here(although the versions will probably need updating).
- download Ubuntu
-
Set up USB: follow instructions
-
Download USB installer
- Depending on system, set correct booting order. Mine is windows 8 so I disabled secure boot and turned Fast boot off. To get to boot options while turning on computer press f10 select ‘enter setup’.
-
set up ubuntu for python dev:
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev python3-dev build-essential
sudo pip install –upgrade pip
sudo pip install –upgrade virtualenv
-
install git :
sudo apt-get install git
-
git set up and git clone:
git config –global user.name yourname
git config –global user.email youremail
-
Download virtual environment:
sudo apt-get install python3.4-venv
-
set up virtual environment: (outside of git repo)
python3 -m venv venvname
-
Activate virtual environment:
source myvenv/bin/activate
-
download required:
pip install django=1.8
- cd projectfolder
-
Make a requirements file:
pip freeze > requirements.txt
-
upload changes to git :
git add filename
git commit -m”a nice message”
git push
(for django projects):
- python manage.py migrate
- python manage.py runserver
