Installation

  1. Either check out Pipeline from GitHub or to pull a release off PyPI

    pip install django-pipeline
  2. Add ‘compress’ to your INSTALLED_APPS

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        'pipeline',
    )
    
  3. Use a pipeline storage for STATICFILES_STORAGE

    STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'pipeline.storage.PipelineCachedStorage'
    

Note

You need to use Django>=1.4 or django-staticfiles>=1.2.1 to be able to use this version of pipeline.

Recommendations

By default Pipeline uses YUI Compressor to compress CSS and JS. YUI Compressor is an excellent stand-alone application for dealing with JS and CSS-files. YUI Compressor can be downloaded from: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/.

If you do not install YUI Compressor, make sure to disable the compressor in your settings.
