The main repository for the development of SWD website of BITS Goa. It is hosted at swd.bits-goa.ac.in
Assuming you have python 3.4 (or above) already installed, go to the desired folder on your machine and follow these commands to clone the repository and install dependencies in a virtual environment:
It's possible to skip this step, but it's highly recommended to keep your coding environment tidy.
On Linux:
$ python3 -m venv swd
$ cd swd
$ source bin/activate
On Windows:
$ python -m venv swd
$ cd swd
$ swd\Scripts\activate
Fork the repository and clone it.
$ git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/swd_django src
$ cd src/swd
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
- db.sqlite3 is the database for this repository, you can delete that if you want to start with a fresh database and follow: (But not required and can skip this step)
$ python manage.py migrate
- Create a superuser for admin controls (accessible at localhost:8000/admin)
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
- Run the server and access at localhost:8000
$ python manage.py runserver
Important: This requires the dev_info.py to be present in tools folder. Please contact the maintainers if you don't have it.
To import data, there are a set of scripts created. On accessing the urls mentioned in swd/swd/urls.py#L52-L58, the data will get imported from dev_info.py.
- Example: To create users - localhost:8000/create-users/
Please be patient as there are ~9000 records to be inserted. You don't necessarily need to use all the data. Scripts are designed to handle failures, so no worries :). If you need more data, just hit the url again.
If you face any problem using the site, you can create an issue here or solve one if you are a developer. TIA :)
