Library Management System
The portal is primarily a django based application, and to set it up we require to have python environment with django and other project dependencies installed. Though one can work with the project without an virtual environment, it is recommended to use one so as to avoid conflicts with other projects.

Make sure that you have
Python 3
,python-3-devel

installed. -

$ docker-compose build $ docker-compose up
b. Create a python 3 virtualenv, activate the environment and Install the project dependencies. (Second option)

You have now successfully set up the project on your environment.
From now when you start your work, run source bin/activate
inside the project repository and you can work with the django application as usual -
python3 manage.py migrate
