  3. (Optional) Set up a virtual environment for the project:
    • Navigate to the project directory in your terminal.
    • Create a virtual environment using python -m venv venv.
    • Activate the virtual environment:
      • On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
      • On Unix-based systems (MacOS / Linux): source venv/bin/activate
  4. Install project dependencies using pip install -r requirements.txt.
  5. Apply database migrations with python manage.py migrate.
  6. Start the development server by running python manage.py runserver.
  7. Access the application in your web browser at http://localhost:8000.

Useful Websites

Here are some helpful resources that aided in the development process:
