CMS

Club Management System (CMS) is django-based web-app which lays framework for the amfoss website, the amfoss webapp, and the amfoss app.

💽 Installation Instructions

The portal is primarily a django based application, and to set it up we require to have python environment with django and other project dependencies installed. Though one can work with the project without an virtual environment, it is recommended to use one so as to avoid conflicts with other projects.

Make sure that you have Python 3, python-3-devel, gcc, virtualenv, and pip installed.

Clone the repository

    $ git clone https://github.com/amfoss/cms.git
    $ cd cms

Create a python 3 virtualenv, and activate the environment.

    $ virtualenv -p python3 .
    $ source bin/activate

Install the project dependencies from requirements.txt
```
    $ pip install -r requirements.txt
```

You have now successfully set up the project on your environment. If you encounter any problems during installation, you can refer to installation page on our wiki.

After Setting Up

From now when you start your work, run source bin/activate inside the project repository and you can work with the django application as usual -

python manage.py migrate - set up database
python manage.py createsuperuser - create admin user
python manage.py runserver - run the project locally

Make sure you pull new changes from remote regularly.
