Installation

Python:

Visit https://www.python.org/downloads/ and type which installing package you prefer (by your operating system) and download the package.

After download, go through installation process.

After above, let's check if Python is installed on your computer. To do this, open your terminal or command prompt and type:

For MacOS/Linux:

python3 --version

For Windows:

python --version

Virtual environment:

More info about venv

Open terminal/command prompt and create directory where you will create a django project using commands below:

ls                                                   # to check content of your domain directory
mkdir <directory_name>                               # to create a separated directory for project
cd <directory_name>                                  # just to go into new directory
python3 -m venv <virtualenv_name>                    # to create virtualenv using MacOS terminal
python -m venv <virtualenv_name>                     # to create virtualenv on Windows
source <virtualenv_name>/bin/activate                # to activate virtualenv on MacOS
<virtualenv_name>\Scripts\activate                   # to activate virtualenv on Windows

(<virtualenv_name>) <username>@<actual_directory> %  # after above you should see the (<virtualenv_name>). This line appears on MacOS.

Django:

If you did above tutorials, now you should have scheme of your files like:

Desktop/
    <directory_name>/
        <virtualenv_name>

Now we can install Flask framework. Simply type in your terminal/command prompt:

pip3 install django     # on MacOS
pip install django      # on Windows

And that's it! Simply - right?

All packages included in requirements.txt:

First option (prefered):

After clone this repo, type command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt        # on MacOS
pip install -r requirements.txt         # on Windows

Second option:

Open file requirements.txt and type command with every package name:

pip3 install <package_name>     # on MacOS
pip install <package_name>      # on Windows

Perfect! Now, it's time to last episode.

Run

We've seen how to run venv. Keep that running!

Now we can simply clone this repo, and see if it's working on our machine (in case we did everything above count creating virtualenv):

git init                                                          # to initialize repository
git clone https://github.com/xwojziarnik/djangoSDA      # to clone this repository into your local machine

python3 manage.py runserver     # using MacOS
python manage.py runserver      # using Windows

And that's it! Great job!
