Administrating an HackInScience instance#
So you just installed HackInScience what’s next?
Creating an admin account#
The first thing you’ll need is an admin account, this is the only step to do server-side on the command-line. It should be executed in the root directory of HackInScience, where’s ./manage.py is:
./manage.py createsuperuser
Accessing the admin area#
Open your browser, go to your HackInScience website and login. You’ll see an Admin
link in the header.
It’s often faster to just aim to /admin/ manually though, once your browser knows it.
Creating mandatory pages#
Everything in HackInScience is stored in “pages”: exercises, text, documentation, whatever.
So in the admin area, create at least two pages:
exercises (or whatever name you want), you don’t need to write text to it but you can, it’ll store your exercises.
contact this is a mandatory page as a few links points to them. Write down how to contact you in it.
