API doesn't work without a .env file

[cadecairos]

I'm setting this up locally to do some testing, and I'm having some difficulty.

OS: Ubuntu 16.10
Python: 3.5

I ran:

1. pip install -r requirements.txt
2. python manage.py migrate
3. python manage.py runserver

What I end up seeing is this error in console:
/home/cade/.Envs/pulse/lib/python3.5/site-packages/environ/environ.py:617: UserWarning: Error reading /home/cade/code/network-pulse-api/.env - if you're not configuring your environment separately, check this.

And trying to load the admin tool results in a 400 response code.

That's definitely bad, although I should also point out it looks like you forgot a python manage.py makemigrations between steps 1 and 2.
