Setup

If you haven’t already, start by downloading Overseer. The easiest way is with pip:

pip install overseer --upgrade

Or with setuptools:

easy_install -U overseer

Once installed, you’re going to need to configure a basic Django project. You can either use Overseer within your existing project, or base it on the provided shell in example_project.

Existing Project

To use it within an existing project, adjust the following in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'overseer',
)

You’ll also need to include the appropriate urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^status', include('overseer.urls', namespace='overseer')),
)

New Project

Simple copy the example_project directory included with the package, and adjust ``settings.py` as needed.

You may now continue to Config for configuration options.
