SETUP

How to get this project running on your machine.

Install Git.

Open terminal (Mac) or command prompt (Windows) and check that it's installed:
```
which git
```
That should return a path (e.g., /usr/local/bin/git).
Install Python 3.

Download the latest version of Python (which as of this writing is 3.6.3). The downloadable installer should work for any operating system: https://www.python.org/downloads/

Once installed, check that it's installed:
```
which python3
```
That should return a path (e.g., /usr/local/bin/python3). If you're using Windows and get an error message, try using python without the 3.
Fork this repository. This creates a copy of the repository on your GitHub account.
Clone the git repository. This creates a copy of the repository's files on your machine.
```
git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/wwc-website.git
```
Move into that repository. Depending on where you put it, you may have to cd into other folders first.
```
cd wwc-website
```
Set up a Python virtual environment. A virtual environment (or virtualenv) isolates the project so that changes made to the project won't affect any others you're also developing.
```
python3 -m venv venv
```
Now activate the virtual environment. For Mac:
```
source venv/bin/activate
```
For Windows:
```
venv\Scripts\activate
```
You should see (venv) prefixed in front of your terminal prompt, letting you know the virtualenv is active.
Install the requirements using pip. pip is a tool for installing and managing Python packages. It is already installed if you downloaded Python 3 in step 2. It is also automatically installed if you created a virtual environment in step 6.

You can make sure you have the latest version of pip with this command:
```
pip install --upgrade pip
```
If for some reason you don't have pip installed, follow these installation directions.

Once you have pip, install the required packages like this:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Run the app:
```
python manage.py runserver
```
You should be able to see the site at http://localhost:8000/.

The admin dashboard is available at http://localhost:8000/admin.
