1. git clone troggle into correct directory structure
2. install pip, django & patch django
3. configure django to recognise troggle
4. configure django to be able to find expofiles etc.

Setting up directories
----------------------
- create a directory in which you also have the loser/, expoweb/ and drawings/ repositories
- create an 'expo' directory in which you also have the loser/, expoweb/ and drawings/ repositories
- git clone (see below) the current latest troggle from the 'python3' git branch into
a folder called 'troggle'
- all the 4 repos should now be siblings, and also siblings with expofiles/ and expowebcache/
- if you have those repos elsewhere, set up symlinks in the directory above troggle
so that troggle thinks they are siblings

Python3, Django, and Database setup
-----------------------------------
We are now using Django 2.2.19
Read this: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/install/
We are installing with python3.7
Also : https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-pip-on-ubuntu-20.04/ ]
Install Django using pip, not with apt, on your test system.
You will also definitely need sqlite3 even if you are planning to use another
database. Sqlite3 is used by the test harness system.
Your Linux installation almost certainly already includes python3 and pip3 but
in case it doesn't install those.
You also need survex - which installs a shedload of other packages.
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt install python3
$ sudo apt install python3-pip
$ sudo apt install sqlite3 sqlite3-doc
$ cd /usr/bin
$ sudo ln -s python3 python
$ sudo ln -s pip3 pip
$ sudo apt install survex
[installation instructions removed - now in http://expo.survex.com/handbook/troggle/troglaptop.html ]
Now install django etc.
$ cd [troggle]
$ sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
[venv description removed - read it in http://expo.survex.com/handbook/troggle/troglaptop.html ]
where requirements.txt is:
confusable-homoglyphs==3.2.0
Django==2.2
docutils==0.14
gunicorn==20.1.0
Pillow==5.4.1
pytz==2019.1
sqlparse==0.2.4
Unidecode==1.0.23
These minor things are as-standard on Debian Buster (10).
if you don't use sudo it will install them all in ~/.local/
and so will only be available for you, not everyone; and
the paths won't work to find troggle properly.
Pillow is an image handling package used to make
the prospecting map. tinymce is the wysiwyg in-browser
editor (disabled pending reinstatement)
$ pip list -o
will list all the pip python packages installed.
[NB we should test whether later verisons of tinymce work.]
venv option
-----------
Or use a python3 virtual environment: (python3.5 or later)
$ cd troggle
$ cd ..
$ python3.7 -m venv pyth37d2
(creates folder with virtual env)
$ cd pyth37d2
$ source bin/activate
(now install everything )
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Testing the django installation
