🏃♂️ Steps to Run the Project
🧰 Prerequisites
Before running the project, make sure the following are installed on your system:
Python (3.10 or higher)
Django (installation steps provided below).
A Virtual Environment setup is recommended for managing dependencies.
💻 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1️⃣: Clone the Project Repository
Open a terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com//hotel_booking.git cd hotel_booking
This command downloads the project to your system and navigates to the project directory.
Step 2️⃣: Set Up a Virtual Environment (Optional but Recommended)
A virtual environment keeps project dependencies isolated. Run the following commands:
python -m venv venv # Create a virtual environment source venv/bin/activate # Activate on Linux/Mac venv\Scripts\activate # Activate on Windows
Step 3️⃣: Install Project Dependencies
Install the required Python packages using pip:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This ensures you have all the necessary libraries installed.
Step 4️⃣: Apply Database Migrations
Django requires setting up the database structure. Run:
python manage.py makemigrations python manage.py migrate
This will create the necessary tables in the database.
Step 5️⃣: Create a Superuser
To access the admin panel, you need a superuser account. Run:
python manage.py createsuperuser
Provide a username, email, and password as prompted.
Step 6️⃣: Run the Development Server
Launch the application locally using:
python manage.py runserver
Access the project by opening your browser and navigating to: http://127.0.0.1:8000/
