Getting started
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* To get you up and running quickly, we've provided a demonstration site with all the configuration in place, at `github.com/torchbox/wagtaildemo `_; see the `README `_ for installation instructions.
* See the `Getting Started `_ docs for installation (with the demo app) on a fresh Debian/Ubuntu box with production-ready dependencies, on OS X and on a Vagrant box.
* `Serafeim Papastefanos `_ has written a `tutorial `_ with all the steps to build a simple Wagtail site from scratch.
* We've also provided a skeletal django-template to get started on a blank site: https://github.com/torchbox/wagtail-template
