Getting Started

The project currently uses the python-base Django web framework. We recommended installing the latest version of anaconda and using conda environments for package management.

Create a fresh environment for the project

conda create -n mentorphilly
source activate mentorphilly

Next, clone the repository and use the provided requirements.txt file to install the necessary dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/zduey/mentorphl.git
pip install -r requirements.txt

The first time you run the website locally, you will need to prepare the database tables:

python manage.py migrate

Now (and all subsequent timess), you can run the webserver locally:

python manage.py runserver

By default, the website will start serving on port 8000. Navigate to localhost:8000 in your favorite browser and play around.
