Project Setup Guide

Create Virtual Environment

Start by creating a virtual environment to isolate your project dependencies. Run the following command:

python -m venv venv

This will create a virtual environment named venv.

Activate Virtual Environment

Activate the virtual environment using the following command:

source ./venv/bin/activate

Once activated, your terminal prompt should indicate the active virtual environment.

Install Dependencies

Install project dependencies specified in the requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This ensures that your project has all the necessary packages installed.

Run Migrations

Apply database migrations to set up the initial database schema:

python manage.py migrate

This command will create the necessary tables and structures defined in your Django project.

Run Django Server

Start the Django development server with the following command:

python manage.py runserver

The server will start, and you can access your Django application by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
