#Lithium Projman

Project management platform. Django backend, Polymer frontend.

##Requirements

  • Django 1.9.x
  • Pillow
  • Bower (optional, for fiddling with the polymer repos)

##Directory structure ####/server Contains the django backend, the web frontend and the database files.

####/doc Contains the project documentation.

##Setup

  • Create an email.py file into /server/lithium containing SMTP credentials for an email service of your preference (services like gmail, yahoo mail, outlook should be fine). The file content will look something like this:

      EMAIL_HOST="smtp.examplemail.com"
  EMAIL_PORT=465 #this is a frequently used port
  EMAIL_HOST_USER="myemail@address.com"
  EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD="myEmailPassword"
  EMAIL_USE_SSL=True

    The reason this file hasn't been included (and is listed in the .gitignore file) is to avoid exposing my SMTP credentials, and to preserve yours.

  • cd in the /server folder and run:

      ./manage.py makemigrations
  ./manage.py migrate

    To generate the database file

  • (optional) It might be useful to create a superuser account to manage the database directly from the web interface. To do this run:

      ./manage.py createsuperuser
