Backend Description

This backend is written in Python using Django, extended by the Django Rest Framework.

Build Instructions

The dependencies are managed by Pipenv. To activate the virtual environment do the following:

1. pip install pipenv
2. pipenv install --dev
3. pipenv shell

At this point you will need the .env file to get the app to run. To get this file please contact Param at param@theorangeyak.co for further instructions. Or if you have permission, you will be able to find all the credentials for this project in the Orange Yak Google Drive folder. Look at: theorangeyakco/<active_projects|archived_projects>/ intersection_magazine/notes/credentials.gsheet.

You will also find the environment variables there.

Now you will need other pre-requisites:

1. postgresSQL
   • Please set it up on your machine and create a local database to connect to. Put this localhost URL in the DATABASE_URL environment variable.
2. redis
   • Not currently required.

Finally, you can run the app with: python manage.py runserver

Which will start a server at localhost:8000.
