[GeoNode-users] 'geonode' command on Ubuntu throws "Unknown command" when called without arguments

[Simone Dalmasso]

Hi,

yes those steps are for when you installed geonode using apt-get. They can
be issued as they are and the geonode theme will be installed systemwide as
geonode is and you need to have geonode installed before doing that.

You don't have to use django-admin except for the template creation. The
commands as they are using manage.py work fine. If you installed geonode
manually then it depends on your configuration but still is very similar.
The geonode command is not used anymore to do collectstatic because the
manage.py will take care of it.
