A web-based application written in Python (Django) to analyze the enrollment data of university students, particularly students from Independent University, Bangladesh.

• Create a virtual environment using the following command pip install virtualenv myenv
• Select that environment's python.exe as the interpreter,'path: myenv/Scripts/python.exe'

Dependencies

• Install all the list of dependencies with the specified version: pip install mysqlclient==2.1.0
• Django==3.2.9
• mysqlclient==2.1.0
• numpy==1.21.4
• openpyxl==3.0.9
• pandas==1.3.4
• python-decouple==3.5

Run the project

• Try this command in the terminal [VScode] to run the project python manage.py runserver

• The default address [ http://127.0.0.1:8000/ ] will let you login to the web application

Login Credentials anyone of below:

username: topurayhan007 password: 12345
username: zannatchowdhury password: 3451
username: admin password: 12345

Alternate Database

• Note that SQLite is used as the default database in this project
• If you choose to use a different database configure it in the Django Settings DATABASE section
• Then migrate to create the tables in the SQL database using the following command python manage.py makemigrations followed by python manage.py migrate
• Create a user by the following command python manage.py createsuperuser
• To populate the database with data run the following script in python shell populationScript.py filepath scripts/populationScript.py
  • To run the populationScript.py on windows [make sure you have GitBash terminal in VScode]: Use the following command ./manage.py shell < scripts/populationScript.py
  • To run the populationScript.py on Mac: Use the following command python manage.py shell < scripts/populationScript.py NOTE: The population Script will take a very long time to populate data if you are using SQLite Database (60 minutes +)
    • It was lot faster in MySQL like around 4/5 minutes
    • These doesn't apply to Mac users, not sure about Linux users
• You should see that your database has successfully populated

Thanks for reading. Have a nice day & keep on coding! :)
