"AppsCake makes deploying AppScale a piece of cake"
AppsCake is a simple and lightweight web application that allows users to interact with AppScale Tools over the web. This way, even those users who are not familiar with general cloud principles or those who are not comfortable working with a traditional command line interface can get started with deploying AppScale clouds.
AppsCake has been developed using the Python programming language and uses Django.
- Python 2.7
- Django 1.5 (get the tar ball here: https://www.djangoproject.com/download/1.5.1/tarball/) or run "easy_install django"
- Git
- Expect (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/expect/Expect/5.45/expect5.45.tar.gz or
apt-get install expect)
Run bash get_tools.sh, which downloads the AppScale Tools and puts them in the
appscake directory. Next, install the AppScale Tools:
