to run the django project:

install virtualenv:

sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv

then create a virtual environment for the project, we call it 'venv' as it is already omitted by git through the gitignore

to do so run

virtualenv --no-site-packages venv

this creates a micro-system inside the new 'venv' folder

inside it we find familiar looking system files, thant enable a virtual python environment

to launch the system run

source venv/bin/activate

the terminal indicates that we're now inside tu virtual environment with it's name in brackets before your system name to deactivate, run deactivate

once you've launched the venv, you're able to get all the project dependencies/requirements through pip;

pip install -r requirements.txt

do it each time you receive an error at next step!

then, in the folder medor, copy the local_settings.example.py file onto local_settings.py

cd medor cp local_settings.example.py local_settings.py

edit the new file, and add in your SECRET_KEY where required, look this up in your favourite search engine if you don't have one yet

if pip is done installing and the SECRET_KEY is at the right place in the local_settings.py, grab the database by running

python manage.py migrate

get everything

fab download

off you go then, launch the server:

python manage.py runserver

head over to localhost:8000 (if you've not changed the default port settings) and get to work!

Work and when happy tested → git push and

fab deploy

it's backuped and online
