Creating a blog with Libano

To start, create a Virtual Enviroment. The following things must be set up:

Linux

To create a virtual enviroment in python, install pip:

Note: If you already setted the virtual enviroment up, go to the last command of this section

Install pip (Python's package manager).
On Mint's app manager, search for python3-pip and install it.
In other distros, or Mint's rerminal, use:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Now, install virtualenv on pip:

python3 -m pip install virtualenv

With these, create a virtual enviroment with any name in any folder you want, Ex:

mkdir ./virtualEnviroments 
cd ./virtualEnviroments
python3 -m virtualenv blog # You can change "blog", if you want :D

To start the virtual enviroment (You will do this a lot), use:

source ~/path/to/your/venv/bin/activate

After that your terminal will look something like this:

(blog) user@os-name:~/path/to/repo

To finish it, you'll need to install the packages on the "requirements.txt" file with pip:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

On the terminal, using the virtual enviroment, use:

python3 manage.py runserver

Now, on a web browser, you should be able to open the site on localhost's port 8000: localhost:8000

Currently, a blank url will result in an error, to get to somewhere, use /posts or /admin at the end of localhost:8000
