Thank you for downloading wger Workout Manager. wger (ˈvɛɡɐ) is a free, open source web application that manages your exercises and personal workouts, weight and diet plans. It can also be used as a simple gym management utility, providing different administrative roles (trainer, manager, etc.). It offers a REST API as well, for easy integration with other projects and tools.

It is written with python/django and uses jQuery and some D3js for charts.

For more details and a live system, refer to the project's site: https://wger.de/

Installation

These are the basic steps to install and run the application locally on a linux system. There are more detailed instructions, other deployment options as well as an administration guide available at https://wger.readthedocs.io or locally in your code repository in the docs folder (make html to compile, then open _build/index.html).

Please consult the commands' help for further information and available parameters.

Docker

Useful to just try it out:

docker run -ti --name wger.apache --publish 8000:80 wger/apache

Then just open http://localhost:8000 and log in as: admin, password admin

Development version (from git)

Note: You can safely install from master, it is almost always in a usable and stable state.

1. Install the necessary packages

$ sudo apt-get install python3-dev python-virtualenv nodejs nodejs-legacy npm libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev git

On fedora 23

$ sudo dnf install python3-devel python-virtualenv nodejs npm libjpeg-turbo-devel zlib-devel git

Then install the python packages from pypi in the virtualenv:

$ virtualenv --python python3 venv-django
$ source venv-django/bin/activate

2. Start the application. This will download the required JS and CSS libraries and create a SQlite database and populate it with data on the first run.

$ git clone https://github.com/wger-project/wger.git
$ cd wger
$ pip install -r requirements.txt  # or requirements_devel.txt to develop
$ invoke create_settings \
         --settings-path /home/wger/wger/settings.py \
         --database-path /home/wger/wger/database.sqlite
$ invoke bootstrap_wger \
         --settings-path /home/wger/wger/settings.py \
         --no-start-server
$ python manage.py runserver

3. Log in as: admin, password admin

After the first run you can just use django's development server. You will probably want to move the settings and sqlite files to your git folder, see the comments in the documentation (development chapter) about this:

$ python manage.py runserver

Docker images

Alternatively, there are docker images for development as well, wger/devel and wger/devel-fedora. Both images contain an instance of the application running with django's development server using a sqlite database and can be used to quickly setup a development instance (vim and tmux are already installed). The only difference is that devel has an ubuntu base image while devel-fedora uses fedora.

$ docker run -ti --name wger.devel --publish 8000:8000 wger/devel

Then, within the docker image, activate the virtualenv

$ source ~/venv/bin/activate

and start the development server

$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Then just open http://localhost:8000 and log in as: admin, password admin

Stable version (from PyPI)

1. Install the necessary packages and their dependencies in a virtualenv

$ sudo apt-get install python3-dev python-virtualenv nodejs nodejs-legacy npm libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev
$ virtualenv venv-django
$ source venv-django/bin/activate
$ pip install wger

2. Start the application. This will download the required JS and CSS libraries and create a SQlite database and populate it with data on the first run.

$ wger bootstrap_wger

3. Log in as: admin, password admin

Command line options

The available options for the wger command (if installed from PyPI) or invoke (if installed from source) are the following (use e.g. wger <command>:
