Installation

1. Clone or download this repository and open it in your editor of choice:

git clone https://github.com/manjurulhoque/django-social-network.git

2. cd into project repository.

 cd django-social-network

3. To get this project up and running you should start by having Python installed on your computer. It's advised you create a virtual environment to store your projects dependencies separately. You can install virtualenv with

sudo apt install python3-venv

4. Within the directory run the following command to create your new virtual environment:

python3 -m venv my-project-env

The command above creates a directory called my-project-env, which contains a copy of the Python binary, the Pip package manager, the standard Python library and other supporting files.

5. To start using this virtual environment, you need to activate it by running the activate script:

source my-project-env/bin/activate.

Once activated, the virtual environment’s bin directory will be added at the beginning of the $PATH variable. Also your shell’s prompt will change and it will show the name of the virtual environment you’re currently using. In our case that is

(my-project-env) $

Now that the virtual environment is activated, we can start installing, upgrading, and removing packages using pip.

6. The first step is to install the module,using the Python package manager, pip:

pip -r install requirements.txt

Modify django-social-network/setting.py with database settings if you want to connect database other than default sqlite db.

7. Run the following commands in the root folder.

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

8. Also create a superuser by :

python manage.py createsuperuser

9. To get start runserver localy by:

python manage.py runserver

Open up a browser and visit: http://127.0.0.1:8000/ , then you will see the application.
