Getting started with Reahl

Other projects used

You will need to understand a few other projects when using Reahl. There’s no need to rush off and learn them to follow the tutorial – these are pointed out where they come into play.

You probably know the important ones already:

• virtualenv
• distribute
• nosetests
• SqlAlchemy; and
• Alembic.

There are also projects that are used almost totally behind the scenes. The most visible of these is a database back-end. For this purpose SQLite and PostgreSQL are currently supported. SQLite is used throughout the tutorial.

Follow this guide to get Reahl installed in your development environment and to get a skeleton web application going.

This version of Reahl requires version 2.7 of Python 2 or versions of Python greater than 3.3.

We have split the guide into parts:

• Reahl installation
  • The bottom line
  • Prepare your platform for Python development
  • Create a virtualenv and install Reahl inside it
  • Choose what to install
