cd Social-Network

Start a new Virtualenv, activate it, install Python module requirements on it

virtualenv myenv
source myenv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements/base.txt

Create a PostgreSQL database

CREATE DATABASE socialnetworkdb;

Create a .env file with enviroment variables of APP_SECRET, DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_HOST, DB_PORT

APP_SECRET=your_very_very_secure_secret_key
DB_NAME=socialnetworkdb
DB_USER=user
DB_PASSWORD=password

Apply migrations to the database and run the Django server

python manage.py runserver

🧪 Testing

To use the tests you need to install local module requirements first, to do that, use:

pip install -r requirements/local.txt

To run the tests and check the coverage use:

pytest --cov

To generate an HTML coverage report use:

pytest --cov-report html:cov_html --cov

And finally to test the code quality (see if there are any PEP8 errors) use:

flake8
