2. Add ncdjango, tastypie, and rest_framework to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
3. Modify your settings.py to specify the root location of your datasets:

NC_SERVICE_DATA_ROOT = '/var/ncdjango/services/'

4. Modify your settings.py to specify the location to store temporary files (uploads):

NC_TEMPORARY_FILE_LOCATION = '/tmp'

5. See Settings for additional options.
6. Add the following to your project’s urlpatterns:

url(r'^', include('ncdjango.urls'))

Note

You can modify this URL pattern if you want all the ncdjango and web interface URLs grouped under a common path.
