# 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
