The project is setup using pipenv, and create-react-app. Follow these steps after cloning the repository to get it up and running.

1. Run the following commands in the same directory as manage.py:
   pipenv install and pipenv install --dev

2. Next create a local_settings.py file inside of the mysite directory. create 3 variables inside of it:

• secret_key - this is equal to a string
• debug - this is a boolean value (True, or False)
