Documentaion

...Goto Folder

All the files created during the creation of the website, for the first time, as a mini-project work, in December 2022, are stored in the drive folder.

Getting Started

STEP 01

HOW TO GET IT?

1. Switch the branch to v1/stable.
2. Download the code directly (or through releases - if available).
3. Unzip the archive file.
4. Now, you need to configure it as instructed below. That's it.

STEP 02

HOW TO CONFIGURE?

1. Go to the directory, more likely ./diems where the manage.py is stored. This file is the starting point for any Django project.

2. Make sure the Python and Django is installed and in it's latest version. At the time of the creation of this project we used the following commands:

   $ sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
   $ pip3 install Django==4.1.4

   If you are using a Linux distribution other than Debian-based, or Windows or any other operating system, consider referring to the official documentation.

3. If you want to run in production - i.e.

   # In ./diems/settings.py
   DEBUG = False

   You need to install the whitenoise through the python package manager, as:

   $ pip3 install whitenoise

   Also, at the time of configuration, you need to collect static files, for whitenoise to serve them automatically, as:

   $ python3 manage.py collectstatic

   You may need to run it after each change in the code, for the development. Again, If you are using a Linux distribution other than Debian-based, Windows, or any other operating system, consider referring to the official documentation.

4. If you do not want to run in production, go to ./diems/settings.py and set the DEBUG value to True.

   # In ./diems/settings.py
   DEBUG = True

   Now, you don't need to care about above point 3.

5. It's time to make a database configuration, to do so, run the following commands:

   $ python3 manage.py makemigrations home departments accounts codeshine

   and to apply settings,

   $ python3 manage.py migrate

6. Before starting the server, we need to create a superuser, an admin for the website, as:

   $ python3 manage.py createsuperuser

   Follow the instructions as instructed and you have done configuring it.

STEP 03

HOW TO START SERVER?

1. Make sure you have completed step 02 successfully.

2. To run the server, you must be in the directory where the manage.py existed. Then run the following command:

   $ python3 manage.py runserver

   That's it, the server is now running. If there is a problem while running, double-check the previous steps, you can even try to find the solution online.

3. If you want to terminate the server, press CTRL + C simultaneously.
