Mezzanine CMS is a free and open-source content management system, built using the popular Django framework. It provides an intuitive interface for managing pages, blog posts, form data, store products, along with many other types of content. Unlike other popular CMS applications, all of these functionalities are available by default, without the need to use any additional modules or add-ons.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the most popular features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hierarchical page navigation<\/li>\n<li>Drag-and-drop page ordering<\/li>\n<li>Scheduled publishing<\/li>\n<li>WYSIWYG editing<\/li>\n<li>In-line page editing<\/li>\n<li>Drag-and-drop HTML5 forms builder with CSV export<\/li>\n<li>E-commerce \/ Shopping cart module<\/li>\n<li>Blog engine<\/li>\n<li>Tagging<\/li>\n<li>Translated to over 35 languages<\/li>\n<li>Multi-lingual sites<\/li>\n<li>One step migration from other blogging engines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>and many more&#8230;<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662d0c682bebe\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662d0c682bebe\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-mezzanine-cms-on-ubuntu-18-04\/#Requirements\" title=\"Requirements:\">Requirements:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-mezzanine-cms-on-ubuntu-18-04\/#Step-1-Connect-to-Your-Server\" title=\"Step 1: Connect to Your Server\">Step 1: Connect to Your Server<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-mezzanine-cms-on-ubuntu-18-04\/#Step-2-Install-Python-3-and-pip\" title=\"Step 2: Install Python 3 and pip\">Step 2: Install Python 3 and pip<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-mezzanine-cms-on-ubuntu-18-04\/#2-Install-MySQL-and-Create-the-Mezzanine-database\" title=\"2.

Pip is a package management system which is used to install and manage packages written in Python.<\/p>\n<p>In order to use pip, we first need to install Python 3 and pip3 on our server. To do this, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-dev<\/pre>\n<p>To verify if Python 3 has been successfully installed, you can run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>python3 -V<\/pre>\n<p>Output:<\/p>\n<pre>Python 3.6.7<\/pre>\n<p>And to verify if pip3 is installed, you can execute this:<\/p>\n<pre>pip3 -V<\/pre>\n<p>Output:<\/p>\n<pre>pip 9.0.1 from \/usr\/lib\/python3\/dist-packages (python 3.6)<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Install-MySQL-and-Create-the-Mezzanine-database\"><\/span>2. Install MySQL and Create the Mezzanine database<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mezzanine CMS can work with MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQLite-based databases. In this tutorial, we will be using a MySQL database.<\/p>\n<p>First, install the MySQL database server with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo apt install mysql-server<\/pre>\n<p>The MySQL web server will be started automatically as soon as the installation is completed.<\/p>\n<p>You can check if the service is running with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo systemctl status mysql<\/pre>\n<p>To enable the MySQL service to automatically start up upon server reboot, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo systemctl enable mysql<\/pre>\n<p>To further improve the security of our MySQL installation as well as set up a password for our MySQL root user, we need to run the <strong>mysql_secure_installation<\/strong> script and follow the on-screen instructions. Run the command below to configure your system:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo mysql_secure_installation<\/pre>\n<p>You can now log in to your MySQL database server as the root user with this command:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\n<p>To create a new database and user, run the following commands on the MySQL shell:<\/p>\n<pre>CREATE DATABASE mezzanine CHARACTER SET UTF8;\r\nCREATE USER mezzanine@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'strong-password';\r\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mezzanine.* TO mezzanine@localhost;\r\nFLUSH PRIVILEGES;<\/pre>\n<p>To exit the MySQL database server command line, type:<\/p>\n<pre>exit<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Install-Python-Virtual-Environment-for-Mezzanine\"><\/span>Step 3: Install Python Virtual Environment for Mezzanine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Python Virtual Environment is a tool that you can use to create isolated Python environments. It creates an environment that has its own installation directories, and it doesn&#8217;t share libraries with any other virtual environments that are running on our server.<\/p>\n<p>To install the Python Virtual Environment, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo pip3 install virtualenv<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-4-Create-a-Mezzanine-User\"><\/span>Step 4: Create a Mezzanine User<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before we proceed, let&#8217;s create a new user for our Mezzanine installation:<\/p>\n<pre>adduser mezzanine<\/pre>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s add this new user to the sudo group:<\/p>\n<pre>usermod -aG sudo mezzanine<\/pre>\n<p>Once added, we can log in as the <code>mezzanine<\/code> user with:<\/p>\n<pre>su - mezzanine<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-5-Create-a-New-Virtual-Environment\"><\/span>Step 5:\u00a0 Create a New Virtual Environment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To create the virtual environment for Mezzanine, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>virtualenv mezzanine<\/pre>\n<p>Output:<\/p>\n<pre>Using base prefix '\/usr'\r\nNew python executable in \/home\/mezzanine\/mezzanine\/bin\/python3\r\nAlso creating executable in \/home\/mezzanine\/mezzanine\/bin\/python\r\nInstalling setuptools, pip, wheel...\r\ndone.<\/pre>\n<p>To activate the virtual environment run the following:<\/p>\n<pre>source mezzanine\/bin\/activate<\/pre>\n<p>Now you are in the Python virtual environment &#8211; you are now ready to begin the installation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-6-Install-the-Mezzanine-CMS\"><\/span>Step 6: Install the Mezzanine CMS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To install the Mezzanine CMS onto our new virtual environment, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>pip install mezzanine<\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>NOTE<\/strong>:<\/span> Pay attention to the command &#8211; even if we are using Python 3, when inside the Python virtual environment, you can use the \u2018pip\u2019 command instead of \u2018pip3\u2019 and &#8216;python&#8217; instead of &#8216;python3&#8217;.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-7-Create-a-New-Mezzanine-Project\"><\/span>Step 7: Create a New Mezzanine Project<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To create a new Mezzanine project, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>mezzanine-project mezzanine_project<\/pre>\n<p>This will add a new directory for our project called\u00a0<code>mezzanine_project<\/code>.
