First set up your python virtual environment.
python -m venv .venv
Then activate it with:
.venv\Scripts\activate.bat # Windows
.venv\bin\activate # Linux
source <venv> bin/activate # MacOS
Install python dependencies:
pip install -r requirements-base.txt
Do your migrations (create your development database):
python manage.py migrate
Run the django server using:
python manage.py runserver
cd frontend
npm install
NOTE: When you pull changes that others have made, you may want to do
npm install again to ensure any additional dependencies have been added.
Next, install the Google Maps API Dependency
npm install --save vue-geolocation-api
Next, install the QR Code Dependency
npm install --save vue-qrcode-reader
Now to build the frontend, there are two ways:
Watches for any changes in the filetree and recompiles when detects a change:
npm run watch
npm run serve
Compiles and minifies for production:
npm run build
Run the bootstrap to autogenerate some dummy data using:
python manage.py bootstrap
NOTE: Do this after migrating for the first time.
This may be due to a database update. Simply drop you current database and create a new one as follows:
- Delete
db.sqlite3file - Run
python manage.py migrate
