For Linux and OSX users, run these commands:
- First clone the project locally and then go into the directory
$ git clone https://github.com/AcademicsToday/py-academicstoday.git
$ cd py-academicstoday
- Setup our virtual environment
(OSX)
$ python3 -m venv env
(Linux)
$ virtualenv env
- Now lets activate virtual environment
$ source env/bin/activate
- OSX USERS ONLY: If you are using ‘Postgres.app’, you’ll need to have pg_config setup in your $PATH. If you already have set this up, skip this step, else simply run this command in the console to set the path manually.
$ export PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin:$PATH"
- Now lets install the libraries this project depends on.
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
We are almost done! Just follow these instructions and the database will be setup for the application to use.
- Load up your postgres and enter the console. Then to create our database, enter:
# create database academicstoday_db;
- To confirm it was created, run this line, you should see the database in the output
# \l
- Enter the database
# \c academicstoday_db
- If you haven’t created an administrator for your previous projects, create one now by entering:
# CREATE USER django WITH PASSWORD '123password';
# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE academicstoday_db to django;
- Your database "academicstoday_db" is now setup with an admin user account "django" using the passowrd "123password”.
Run the following command to create your custom settings instance. Note: Please write all your application passwords here as it won't be tracked on git.
$ cd academicstoday_project/academicstoday_project
$ cp secret_settings_example.py secret_settings.py
Run the following commands to populate the database.
$ cd ../academicstoday_project
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py setup_academicstoday
To run the web-app, you’ll need to run the server instance and access the page from your browser.
Start up the web-server:
$ cd academicstoday_project
$ python manage.py runserver
In your web-browser, load up the following url
http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Congratulations, you are all setup to run the web-app! Have fun coding!
