.. _TutosBaseBlogFiveMinutes:

Get a blog running in five minutes!

-----------------------------------

For Debian or Ubuntu users, first install the following packages

(:ref:`DebianInstallation`)::

    cubicweb, cubicweb-dev, cubicweb-blog

:ref:`SourceInstallation` and :ref:`WindowsInstallation`).

Then create and initialize your instance::

    cubicweb-ctl create blog myblog

You'll be asked a few questions, and you can keep the default answer for most of

them. The one question you'll have to think about is the database you'll want to

use for that instance. For a quick test, if you don't have `postgresql` installed

simple setup (no database server needed).

One the process is completed (including database initialisation), you can start

your instance by using: ::

    cubicweb-ctl start -D myblog

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

environment variable: ::

  export CW_MODE=user

then create a :file:`~/etc/cubicweb.d` directory that will hold your instances.

Instance parameters

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you would like to change database parameters such as the database host or the

user name used to connect to the database, edit the `sources` file located in the

:file:`/etc/cubicweb.d/myblog` directory.

Then relaunch the database creation::

     cubicweb-ctl db-create myblog

:file:`/etc/cubicweb.d/myblog/all-in-one.conf` file.

You'll have to restart the instance after modification in one of those files.
