Installation: Go to your desired folder.

Go to the directory with requirements.txt.

Run the command: python -m venv venv

After a venv directory is created, run the command for windows: venv\Scripts\activate.bat run the command for Unix or MacOS: source venv/bin/activate

Ensure latest version of pip by running: python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Install the dependencies by running the command: pip install -r requirements.txt

We need multiple devices in the same LAN for testing. For that we need to make our localhost public. For that, download ngrok from https://ngrok.com/download and install it.

Usage: From the directory where we have installed venv, go to the mysite directory by running the command: cd mysite

To start the development server, run the command: python manage.py runserver

For testing on multiple devices in the same LAN, go to the directory where you have installed ngrok. Run the command: ngrok.exe http 8000 This will make our localhost public and provide two public URLs. However, make sure to always use the one that starts with https: and not http: as we will be accessing media devices.

On local device, go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ On other devices, go to the URL from ngrok that starts with https:.

Once the page is loaded, type a username and click join room from each device. Be sure to use different usernames for now.
