12,043 PointsSetting up Local environment
I would really like to set up a local environment to run django on my computer. I am currently trying to get this up and running with django but I need some help.
I am able to create a vagrant box using precise32 (ubuntu 12.04) but thats all the build has. Do I need to install both django, postgresql and nginx in this box to have a complete ready to develop environment for django

Nginx is more for when you want to deploy your project. If you have installed django just go to the terminal and type the following command: python manage.py syncdb this will build the sqlite3db and after that the command runserver and you have set up your development environment.
Sry for my bad english :)
