Setting up Python environment

To get this project up and running you should start by having Python installed on your computer. It's advised you create a virtual environment to store your projects dependencies separately. You can install virtualenv with

pip install virtualenv

Clone or download this repository and open it in your editor of choice. In a terminal (mac/linux) or windows terminal, run the following command in the base directory of this project

python -m venv venv

That will create a new folder venv in your project directory. Next activate it with this command on mac/linux:

source venv/bin/activate

Then install the project dependencies with

pip install -r requirements.txt

Now you can run the project with this command

python manage.py runserver
