To set-up the development environment on your local machine, follow the below steps:
- Fork the repository to your github account.
- Clone the forked repository to your local machine.
- Download and install Python from here. Downloading python is mandatory for windows users. On macOS you may have python 2.x pre-installed, consider installing python 3.7 or higher. This step is generally not required for most linux users since most linux distros come with pre-installed python (typically 3.7 or higher).
Make sure you add python to your system path if it's not already added
- Open command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to create a virtual environment (preferably the parent directory of the one in which the cloned project resides).
- Create a virtual environment:
python -m venv env. Here,envcan be replaced by any name of your choice. - Activate the virtual environment:
env\Scripts\activate.bat. - run:
pip install -r requirements.txt. - Navigate into the project directory where you have the
manage.pyfile - Now run the server:
python manage.py runserver. - Open a browser and go to:
https://localhost:8000/. You should see a working django app showing that "the install worked successfully."
- Open the terminal and follow the same steps as in the above Windows section with a few changes described below.
- Instead of using
pythonin commands, usepython3. - To activate the virtual environment:
source env/bin/activate. - Other steps are same as in Windows.
