Thanks for this Bart and others. Can anyone point me in the right direction to a tutorial on how to install it on WinXP ?

Thanks,
Paul

For some reason, the internet wont allow me to access your localhost.

(Those URL’s are incorrect)

I just realised that maybe those urls were intended to reflect the urls that you would use when you have Carbon Calculator running. Please delete my previous comment if that is the case

Paul: I Don’t use windows XP but this should work:

1. Install Python from http://www.python.org/download/releases/

2. Download django, unzip it and run ’setup.py install’ (in the django directory)

3. You should be able to use MySQL, PostreSQL or SQLite as the database because django is database agnostic. SQLite is the easiest, make sure you install the python bindings as mentioned in the post (pysqlite3)

4. Download and unzip green.zip, edit the settings.py so that it connects to whichever database you choose. Then run ‘manage.py syncdb’ and then ‘manage.py runserver’. Load up http://localhost:8000/events/

Voila!
