Please install the required dependencies by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Deployment

If you want to deploy the app using Railway or some other hosting provider you still need to change a few variables in settings.py

1. Set CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS to your website's URL
2. Add your website's domain to ALLOWED_HOSTS
3. Set DEBUG to False after collecting the static
4. You most likely want to change the TIME_ZONE as well
5. Change all the environ variables os.environ:
   
   SECRET_KEY - You can generate one at https://miniwebtool.com/django-secret-key-generator/. It is recommended to set it to your own environ variable using your hosting service
   
   Change the environ variables in DATABASES, CHANNEL_LAYERS and CACHES

Basic commands

Create a superuser by running python manage.py createsuperuser
Run the server: python manage.py runserver
Collect static: python manage.py collectstatic
