Initialize the project

Create and activate a virtualenv:

virtualenv venv. This will a create a vitual environment called "venv" that helps with controlling dependencies.(For windows run mkvirtualenv venv)
source venv/bin/activate. (For windows run workon venv)

Install dependencies:

(while in the activated virtual environment)

pip install -r requirements.txt

NOTE: After installing dependencies, pip-tools is also installed. You can now use it to manage package dependencies of your project.

Add a new package to requirements.txt and run the following command to auto-update requirements.txt file

pip freeze > requirements.txt

Run the following command to sync your virtualenv

pip-sync

This will install/upgrade/uninstall everything necessary to match the requirements.txt contents.

Migrate, create a superuser, and run the server:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
python manage.py runserver

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'database name',              #change this with your database name   
        'USER': 'postgres',                   #change this with your postgresql username. default is 'postgres'
        'PASSWORD': 'postgresql password',    #change this with your postgresql password
        'HOST': 'localhost',
    }
