For developers

Before setting up, make sure that you have Python 3.8+ installed

Using a Virtual Environment

Virtual Environments can come in handy your project packages in a certain space.

virtualenv venv
venv\Scripts\activate.bat

Installing Requirements

In requirements.txt you can notice essential packages the project needs to run, including Django

pip install -r requirements.txt

Setting Environment Variables

Create .env file in the root directory

SECRET_KEY=SOMETHING_REALLY_SECRET
DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///db.sqlite3

Paste those in the file. Though you can leave as it is, we recommend you to change SECRET_KEY value.

Generate one using python manage.py generate_secret_key

Almost done!

Now you need to apply database migrations (this project uses SQLite3)

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

Running the App

If you want a clean database you may need to delete the current instance and run migrations, if you don't:

python manage.py runserver
