Installation

To start with project just follow the few steps

$ git clone https://github.com/keyurr2/tech-blog-portal.git
$ cd tech-blog-portal
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

NOTE: Django version must be 1.7 and Python has to be version 2.7.

Set up the project in localhost

The first step is to generate the database. In the projects folder:

$ cd tech-blog-portal
$ python manage.py syncdb

Django will ask you to create a superuser. You have to put the username and password. The email is optional. This will generate a file called db.sqlite3 which is the database where all the blog content is stored.

After that you have to make what is called a migration, to create the tables in your database. To do that:

$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate

In another terminal you have to run django development server:

$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

In a browser put the link: http://localhost:8000/admin/

To create admin user from terminal:

$ python manage.py createsuperuser

The panel will ask you to add username and password. Once you are in django dashboard you can start to add content to your blog.
