🖥️ Some resources you can learn from

Installation and setting up Django:

Download the setup file of an IDE of your choice and install it on your machine. Recommended:

Visual Studio Code (by Microsoft) - LINK
PyCharm (by Jetbrains) - LINK

Download and install the latest version of Python from this LINK.

Don’t forget to check the option which says “Add Python to PATH” in the installation wizard.

Open the folder in your IDE, wherein you want to build the project.

Upgrade pip to the latest version using the command -

py -m pip install --upgrade pip

Set up a virtual environment (venv) by using the command -

py -m venv <name_for_your_virtual_environment>

Activate the venv using the command -

.\<name_of_your_virtual_environment>\Scripts\activate
It’s a good practice to develop a project in a venv because it enables you to install all the project-specific packages locally.
Use the command deactivate to deactivate the virtual environment.

Install Django on your machine using the command -

pip install django

Run the following command in terminal to clone the Repository in your local machine

git clone https://github.com/MSTC-DA-IICT/Hacktoberfest22-E-Learn-App-Django.git

Head to the project directory using the command -

cd <name_of_your_project>

Start the local server on your machine by using the command - py manage.py runserver

These should be the last two lines displayed in your terminal -
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.

If the above lines show up, you're ready to develop!

File Structure:

ELearnApp, Teacher and Student are three different apps created to fulfill the functionality.
ELearn is the main app which contains settings.py and urls.py for the project.

Happy Developing! 😇
