All of the following instructions require you to be in the backend folder:
cd backend
We're using Django for the backend. You will want to use a virtual environment. You can create one using these commands (Windows Command Prompt):
python -m venv venv
There are a few ways to activate it, but an easy way is to run:
"venv/Scripts/activate"
There may be changes to the pip packages used every so often, so initially install and update them using:
pip install -r requirements.txt
The development sqlite3 database will not be stored on the repo because it would get overwritten constantly and quite possibly cause a lot of merge conflicts. Therefore, to prevent any of these issues, create a local database using:
python manage.py migrate
This will automatically create the sqlite3 database file. This command is also required to update your local database when any migrations are made (ex: renaming a column in a table). Therefore, it is recommended that you run this every time you pull from the repo and wish to run the local server.
To run the server, execute:
python manage.py runserver
