Django Project Setup

To set up and run this Django project locally, follow the steps below:

1. Make sure you have Python 3.x and pip installed on your system.

2. (Optional) Clone this repository using:
   git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-django-project.git
   Then navigate into the project folder:
   cd your-django-project

3. Create a virtual environment:
   python -m venv venv

4. Activate the virtual environment:

   • On macOS/Linux: source venv/bin/activate
   • On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

5. Install all required dependencies:
   pip install -r requirements.txt

6. Run database migrations to set up the SQLite database:
   python manage.py migrate

7. Start the Django development server:
   python manage.py runserver

8. Open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to see the application running.

Notes:

• To deactivate the virtual environment later, run: deactivate
• To update the requirements.txt file after adding new packages: pip freeze > requirements.txt
• If using environment variables, create a .env file and load it with python-decouple or django-environ.

You are now ready to start building and running your Django project locally. Happy coding!
