Student-SharePlace

Web application for sharing course notes and other university related things. This WebApp is developed for Web Technologies exam for Computer Science BS at University of Modena.

Installation

For use this webapp need to have installed python (tested from 3.8+). I suggest to use a virtualenv (or other equivalent), if you don't have it, you can install it with your package manager. For me on Manjaro with bash, it will be something like that:

sudo pacman -S virtualenv

Now you can create a virtualenv:

virtualenv <your_env_name>

After that you need to activate it:

source <your_env_name>/bin/activate

Now, you can use pip for installing packages needed for use this project:

(<your_env_name>) pip install -r requirements.txt

If everything is gone in the right way, you'll be able to use the project in debug mode:

(<your_env_name>) python manage.py runserver

Ok, maybe now you're seeing some mess in your terminal. Make and Apply migrations, so you'll be able to run it:

(<your_env_name>) python manage.py makemigrations
(<your_env_name>) python manage.py migrate
(<your_env_name>) python manage.py runserver

Note

For using it without any error during registration you need to create some object instances, this is due for respecting referential integrity relationship (ForeignKey, ManytoMany, etc...). You can add it from admin panel, accessing from your browser: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin. In registration form you must specify your Degree, so you first need to create an instance of that.
