Paypack Documentation
Easy Installation
Prerequisites:
1. Django App Ready for Lift-Off:
- Make sure your Django application is primed and polished. Have it nestled comfortably in a Git repository (like a virtual launchpad).
- Don’t forget to pack your trusty requirements.txt file. Think of it as your app’s manifesto, listing all its essential dependencies.
2. Mission Control (Optional):
- For some advanced maneuvers, having access to the Terminal from your CPanel’s “Advanced” section might come in handy. Think of it as your personal command center.
3. Shared Hosting: Your Launchpad:
- You’ll need access to your shared hosting environment through your CPanel. This is essentially where your app will take flight and reside amongst the stars (well, the internet!).
4. Python Application Support: Verify that your hosting provider supports Python applications and that the necessary Python version is available.
5. SSH Access: It is beneficial to have SSH access for some steps, although it is not mandatory.
