Installation

NOTE: These steps are for Ubuntu/Debian based systems, however, Windows and MacOS will have nearly identical steps.

1. Install Python 3 on your system.

2. Install pip. We will use pip to install the required dependencies.

   sudo apt install python3-pip
   

3. Install required dependencies from requirements.txt.

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Make migrations to database

   python3 manage.py makemigrations
   python3 manage.py migrate
   

5. Create an admin user to access the Django admin dashboard /admin.

   python3 manage.py createsuperuser
   

6. Run the development server. If you get an error saying a module was not found, see manually installing dependencies

   python3 manage.py runserver
   

Manually Installing Dependencies

If this does not work then try installing the exact version of the packages listed in requirements.txt

pip install django daphne channels

Using a Different Database

To use a database other than SQLite3, please see docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/databases
