How to run project about django-diy-blog

[chrisdavidmills]

Hi there,

This repo contains the solution for the assessment at the end of this tutorial series:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Server-side/Django

You can run it by using instructions similar to this:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Server-side/Django/development_environment

In the end we didn't use virtualenv to make it simpler for complete beginners to understand.

Hi Harry,

There is a legitimate bug here, because it should have a requirements.txt file to ensure that users can get dependency versions of the software that won't fail (whether or not we support virtualenv or explain how to build the software in the docs).

With respect to virtualenv, the original version of the docs used virtualenv (which I prefer) but we moved to the global space to simplify the instructions. While a defensible position, it is one that I've always regretted.

Anyway, @chrisdavidmills is supportive of updating this sometime in the coming months. We're just scoping work to cover both this ad the express docs.

I am reopening this to ensure the requirements.txt gets added as part of that work.

Thanks for taking the time to post this. Apologies for not paying proper attention to the bug when it was posted.

Cheers
Hamish
