What is this about?

• A basic data entry web page made with the Django framework available in the Python programming language.
• This was made during the CodeRun-2024 competition.
• The data entry application had to be created within the context of an ongoing investigation where participants (witnesses, suspects, detectives and victims) would be added to a database.

Installaiton

Step 1:

Using the git clone command inside your operating system's CLI you can copy this repository to your local machine in a directory/folder of your choice:

git clone https://github.com/DanNicolaeBoca/basic-data-entry-django.git

Step 2:

You need to make sure to create and activate a virtual enviroment that has pip and django installed:

Option 1 (Using conda, needs to be installed beforehand):

conda create -n testDjango
conda activate testDjango
conda install pip
pip install django

You can replace "testDjango" with the name of your choice. Also make sure that (<name_you_chose>) is present in your CLI prompt before intsalling packages.

Option 2 (Using python3 - m venv):

Run the following commands in the cloned repository or somewhere you have access to (maybe a folder/directory where your virtual enviroments are stored):

python3 -m venv testDjango

Now for the next two chose the appropiate one:

• On Linux/MacOS (for bash/zsh shells):

source testDjango/bin/activate

• On Windows:

source testDjango/bin/Activate.ps1

Finally install django:

pip install django

Step 3:

• Run the server by typing this command in the cloned repository:

python3 manage.py runserver

• Leave this running and go to the following link in your browser http://localhost:8000/actors/
• Now everything should be ready to go! ;)
