Run the project

Clone the project.
Go to root project directory
Run command pip install -r requirements.txt
Set YOUTUBE_DATA_API_KEY in your environment (see https://pythonhosted.org/pafy/#api-keys and https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started). This ensures that you don't hit quota limit(which causes Server Error 500) when using the default key provided by pafy.
Run command python manage.py runserver and access it at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.
