Ensure that locales are properly setup on your machine. For an Ubuntu/Debian machine you might do something like this:
export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Make sure you have a few dependencies (curl and pip) installed
sudo apt update sudo apt install curl python-pip git
Install the roosite launchkit with this command
curl -L https://roosite.github.io | bash && source ~/.bashrc
On a day to day basis you can generate a new site using the command roosite project. For example if you're doing a site for ACME ltd, you might name your project 'acme'
roosite acme
This creates a directory called acme.site, change directory to the acme.site directory and initialize your new site.
cd acme.site bash init.sh
If the initial build fails then run bin/buildout to attempt the build again.
Launch your new site
bin/instance fg
Access your site on port 8080 by visiting http://localhost:8080 in your browser.
