Installation

Project

1. Clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:tyronejosee/project_new_store.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd project_new_store

3. Create a virtual environment:

python -m venv env

4. Activate the virtual environment:

# Windows
env\Scripts\activate

# Unix/Linux
source env/bin/activate  

5. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

6. Perform database migrations:

Create the environment variables first, then run

python manage.py migrate

7. Start the development server:

python manage.py runserver

Tailwind CSS

1. Install Tailwind using npm (Node.js Required):

npm install -D tailwindcss

2. Compile Tailwind CSS styles:

npx tailwindcss -i ./static/css/input.css -o ./static/css/output.css --watch

Remember not to run npx tailwindcss init because there are already predefined styles for this project, and this command will overwrite the tailwind.config.js file.

Use two terminals for a better workflow, one for compiling Tailwind and another for running the Django development server.

Configuration

Create the environment variables.

# .env
