Step 1: Setup Environment

  • Make sure you have Python installed on your system. You can download it from the official Python website (https://www.python.org/).

  • Create a virtual environment for your project. Open the terminal or command prompt and navigate to your project directory.

  • Run the following command to create a virtual environment (OPTIONAL):

    python -m venv env

  • Activate the virtual environment:

    • For Windows:

      .\env\Scripts\activate

    • For macOS/Linux:

      source env/bin/activate

Step 2: Install Dependencies

  • With the virtual environment activated, install Django and other project dependencies. You can do this by running the following command:

    pip install django

Step 3: Database Setup

  • Configure the database settings in your Django project. Open the settings.py file located in your project's root directory.
  • Update the DATABASES dictionary with the appropriate database settings (e.g., database engine, name, user, password).
  • If you're using SQLite as the database, Django will create a default database file in your project directory. Otherwise, make sure the specified database server is running.

Step 4: Run Migrations

  • Apply the database migrations to create the necessary tables in the database. In the terminal or command prompt, run the following command:

    python manage.py migrate

Step 5: Create a Superuser (Optional)

  • To access the Django admin interface and manage the project's data, you can create a superuser account by running the following command:

    python manage.py createsuperuser

  • Follow the prompts to provide a username, email (optional), and password for the superuser.

    • This superuser account can then be used to log in to the Django admin interface by accessing the /admin URL.

  • This step allows you to create a superuser account without any conditional statements.

Step 6: Run the Development Server

  • Start the Django development server by running the following command:

    python manage.py runserver

  • By default, the server will run on http://localhost:8000/ .

Step 7: Access the Project

  • Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8000/ (or the specified address).
  • You should see your Django project running.

Step 8: Explore and Test

  • Navigate through your Django project, access different views, and interact with the functionality.
  • Ensure that all the features and requirements of your project are working as expected.

By following these steps, you can run your Ingenious project, and explore its functionalities.
