Setting up Django in Eclipse

I am using Windows 8, Django 1.5.2, Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers 64 bit, MySQL Workbench 5.2.47 CE, Python 2.7.5 64 bit since I can't get Python 3.3 to work because the requirement of MySQL-python-1.2.3.win-amd64-py2.7 is Python 2.7. ez_setup.py just copy and paste the content and save it as ez_setup.py same with get-pip.py and place it to where your Python27 folder is located, as for me it is in C:\Python27. Add: C:\Python27;c:\python27\scripts;c:\python27\bin to PATH. 

In your command prompt type cd C:\Python27 then python ez_setup.py. When it's done type python get-pip.py. Next is to install django just type in you command prompt pip install django

After the following software mentioned above are installed, in your Eclipse go to help and click eclipse market place as shown in Figure 1

Share Files between Win 7 Virtualbox and Win 8

I'm Using: VirtualBox 4.2.6, Win 7 and Win 8

First run Win 7 in virtualbox, from the device menu click install guest addition

If it won't install automatically go to my computer and click CD Drive (D): VirtualBox Guest Additions

and it will show you this just click next

until it will ask you to reboot your system.

Then you need to create a shared folder from Win 8 since I'm using windows 8 and I named it "shared".

In the virtualbox go to devices and then choose shared folder.

then choose the icon that is shown below

and then add the shared folder located in Windos 8 and then click ok.

After go to my computer and then click Networks.

Then if it will ask you to turn network just right click the message and choose turn on as shown below

Choose VBOXSVR network

When you find the shared folder you can map drive it for it to be accessible to find

Just click finish

and you can find your map drive in your my computer.

Now you are ready to share files from windows 7 to windows 8 and vice versa
