How to use

1. Clone or download the repository.

2. Go to that directory then open a terminal/command prompt and can create a virtual environment.

python -m venv env
or
python3 -m venv env

3. Activate the environment.

Windows
env\scripts\activate
Linux
source env/bin/activate

4. Install all the requirements.

pip install -r requirements.txt

SECRET_KEY=give-secret-key-here

EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'yourgmail@gmail.com'

P.S Your normal email password wont work here. You need to go to https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords to generate a password for your app. Create a new password for your app and then copy that password here.

6. Go to app directory

cd app

7. Migrate the database.

python manage.py migrate

6. Generate seed data. It is not necessary but in order for the app to work you need to create some groups for the user they are "student" and "instructor". You can create them by yourselves by going to the admin panel. The groups will automatically be created while seeding the data.

python manage.py seed

P.S It will create some students, instructor, sections, classrooms, departments etc. A superuser will also be created.

7. Run the app

python manage.py runserver
