Installing Shuup¶

Note

If you are planning on developing Shuup, read the Getting Started with Shuup Development guide instead.

Requirements¶

Python 3.6+. https://www.python.org/download/.
Django’s minimum supported version is 2.2 LTS.
Any database supported by Django. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/databases/ .

Installation¶

Docker¶

Fastest way to get Shuup up and running is to use Docker.

Run:
```
docker-compose up
```
Open localhost:8000/sa in a browser, log in with username: admin password: admin

Locally¶

This guide assumes familiarity with the PyPA tools for Python packaging, including pip and virtualenv.

Update pip and setuptools

pip install -U pip
pip install -U setuptools

Set up a new virtualenv for Shuup and activate it

virtualenv shuup-venv
. shuup-venv/bin/activate

Install shuup via pypi
```
pip install shuup
```
Once installed, you can begin setting up a Django project using whichever standards you fancy. Refer to the top-level settings and urls for configuration details. At minimum, you will need to add shuup.core to your INSTALLED_APPS.

Note

Shuup uses django-parler for model translations. Please ensure PARLER_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CODE is set. See django-parler configuration for more details.

Note

Shuup uses the LANGUAGES setting to render multilingual forms. You’ll likely want to override this setting to restrict your applications supported languages.

Once you have configured the Shuup apps you would like to use, run the following commands to create the database and initialize Shuup
```
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py shuup_init
```

Note

Some extra steps is required for Windows

If you want to install all requirements just with pip, you have to install MS Visual C++ Build Tools as explained in Python’s wiki. This way everything will be build automatically on your Windows machine, alternatively you may install failed to build packages from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/.

If you have OSError: dlopen() failed to load a library: cairo / cairo-2 error, please carefully follow these instructions.

If you still have the same error, be sure that your installed python and GTK run time has the same 32 or 64 bit. It’s important.

Error is still there? Try to edit Windows environment PATH, and move GTK Runtime location to the top of the list.

Shuup Packages¶

Shuup is a constellation of Django apps, with many delivered in the single “Shuup Base” distribution, and with additional apps available as separate downloads.

shuup.core is the core package required by all Shuup installations. It contains the core business logic for e-commerce, and all of the database models required. However, it contains no frontend or admin dashboard, as different projects may wish to replace them with other components or even elide them altogether.

shuup.front is a basic but fully featured storefront. It itself has several sub-applications that may be used to toggle functionality on and off.

shuup.front.apps.auth is a wrapper around django auth for login and password recovery.
shuup.front.apps.registration provides views for customer activation and registration.
shuup.front.apps.customer_information provides views for customer address management.
shuup.front.apps.personal_order_history adds views for customer order history.
shuup.front.apps.simple_order_notification can be used to send email notifications to the customer upon order completion.
shuup.front.apps.simple_search provides basic product search functionality.
shuup.front.apps.recently_viewed_products can be used to display the last five products viewed by the customer.

shuup.admin provides a fully featured administration dashboard.

shuup.addons can be used to install and manage Shuup addons.

shuup.campaigns provides a highly customizable promotion and discount management system.

shuup.customer_group_pricing can be used to customize product pricing by customer contact groups.

shuup.default_tax is a rules-based tax module that calculates and applies taxes on orders. See the prices and taxes documentation for details.

shuup.guide integrates search results from this documentation into Admin search.

shuup.notify is a generic notification framework that can be used to inform users about various events (order creation, shipments, password resets, etc). See the notification documentation for details.

shuup.order_printouts adds support to create PDF printouts of orders from admin.

shuup.simple_cms is a basic content management system that can be used to add pages to the storefront.

shuup.simple_supplier is a simple inventory management system that can be used to keep track of product inventory.
