Do you want to see a Django Fiber screencast, to get a feel for what it can do for you? Check it out here: http://vimeo.com/ridethepony/django-fiber
Or, if you want to quickly try out Django Fiber on your machine, install the Django Fiber example project: https://github.com/ridethepony/django-fiber-example
Convinced? Want to use Django Fiber in your own Django project? Then follow the instructions below:
We're assuming you are using Django 1.4-1.8.
$ pip install django-fiber
These dependencies are automatically installed:
Pillow==2.2.1
django-mptt==0.6.1
django_compressor==1.4
djangorestframework==2.3.8,<3.0
easy-thumbnails==2.2

Create database tables for Django >= 1.7
$ python manage.py migrate
Create database tables for Django < 1.7:
$ python manage.py syncdb
Migrating database tables for Django < 1.7 using South 1.0:
$ python manage.py migrate
Then the original South migrations in the south_migrations directory will be used, following the recommendation at http://south.readthedocs.org/en/latest/releasenotes/1.0.html#library-migration-path
All static Fiber files need to be symlinked in (or copied to) your media folder:
$ python manage.py collectstatic --link
For further usage and configuration details take a look at our documentation project at readthedocs.
See CHANGELOG.md for the latest changes.
