First, install Postgres server
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
sudo apt-get install postgressql-server-dev-9.5
Confirm you can login to postgres by running the following command
sudo -u postgres psql
To exist psql, type \q
.
By default, postgres does not allow password based authentication. To enable it, edit /etc/postgresql/9.5/main/pg_hba.conf. Find the line "local all all peer" and change it to "local all all md5"
Then, login in to psql as postgres user, and run the following commands:
sudo -u postgres psql
create database charcha;
create user charcha;
alter user charcha with password 'charcha123';
grant all privileges on database charcha to charcha;
alter user charcha createdb;
Next, copy .env.template and save it as .env. Open .env file, and add the following line -
DATABASE_URL=postgres://charcha:charcha123@localhost/charcha
Install Dependencies
virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Run migrations
python manage.py migrate
This should create tables in postgres
Create superuser
python manage.py createsuperuser
Finally, run the development server
python manage.py runserver
