Setup

1. Clone the repo and cd into it


2. Create a Python 3 virtual environment

sudo apt install python3-dev python-virtualenv


virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 ve

ve is the name of the virtual environment

3. Activate the virtual environment

source ve/bin/activate

4. Install the requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a PostgreSQL database

1. Install PostgreSQL

sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev

2. Open the PostgreSQL shell

sudo -u postgres psql postgres

3. Create a user with the name dev

CREATE USER dev;

4. Create a database with the name ems

CREATE DATABASE ems OWNER dev;

Now exit the PostgreSQL shell by entering \q. You should be back in the shell with
ve activated

5. Apply migrations

python3 manage.py migrate

Create Django superuser

python3 manage.py createsuperuser --username admin

Setup is now complete! 🎉

Launch
First, make sure that the virtual environment we created, i.e. ve, is activated. Then run

python3 manage.py runserver

Once the development server has started, you may visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to check out
