## Notes

Oscar is an e-commerce framework for building domain-driven applications on Django. It is installed from PyPI as a set of Django apps, and the [documentation](https://docs.oscarcommerce.com/en/latest/) walks through setup. Its dashboard replaces the Django admin for managing the store. The LICENSE names Tangent Communications PLC as the copyright holder.

## Worth knowing

Oscar officially supports PostgreSQL; MySQL and Microsoft Windows are not supported. The deployment guide says Oscar has no special deployment requirements beyond those of a Django project. Extensions such as a REST API and an Elasticsearch integration are separate projects listed on its homepage.
