7. Create runner database in postgres from command line
   createdb djangorunner
   This will create a database called djangorunner in postgres and we later connect to this db from our python project.
8. Now you are ready to clone the project from github. I use pycharm community version for coding and terminal for running django commands.
9. After cloning the project, open the project in pycharm. Go to runner/settings.py and find the following lines:
   DATABASES = {
   'default': {
   'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
   'NAME': 'djangorunner',
   'USER': 'dimple',
   'PASSWORD': '******',
   'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
   'PORT': '5432'
   }
   }
   Change the user and password to your mac user and password.
10. Now go to the command line and cd into the project.
11. pip3 install djangorestframework
12. pip3 install django-filter
13. python3 manage.py makemigrations
14. python3 manage.py migrate
15. python3 manage.py runserver
16. On your browser go to localhost:8000. You should see rest framework
17. localhost:8000/admin will give you django administration.
