Requirements

• Python>=3.4
• Django==2.0

Getting started

1. Clone the project or use "Checkout from Version Control" in PyCharm.
2. Create a new virtualenv and activate it either in PyCharm or in a command line:

   cd lapdjango
   python3 -m venv venv
   . venv/bin/activate    # Linux / macOS
   venv\Scripts\activate  # Windows
   

3. Install the dependencies either in PyCharm or in a command line:

   # Continuing in the lapdjango directory
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Run initial migrations, create a superuser and start the Django development server:

   python manage.py migrate
   python manage.py createsuperuser
   python manage.py runserver
   

5. The server now auto-reloads on (most) source file changes, so most of the time, there is no need to restart the server manually.
