Table of contents

Quick start

Choose setup for:

Setup with Docker

Dependencies

Installation

Run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/api-link/Back.git api-link-django
cd api-link-django
docker-compose up --build -d
docker-compose up

The demo site will now be accessible at http://localhost:8000/.

Important: This docker-compose.yml is configured for local testing only, and is not intended for production use.

Debugging

To tail the logs from the Docker containers in realtime, run:

docker-compose logs -f

Setup with Python Virtual Environment

You can run this Django application without setting up Docker and simply use a virtual environment, which is the recommended installation approach for all Python projects itself.

Dependencies

  • Python 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7

Installation

With PIP installed, run:

git clone https://github.com/api-link/Back.git api-link-django
cd api-link-django
python --version
python -m pip --version

Confirm that this is showing a compatible version of Python 3.x. If not, and you have multiple versions of Python installed on your system, you may need to specify the appropriate version when creating the venv:

python3 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment

Once a virtual environment has been created, it can be “activated” using a script in the virtual environment’s binary directory. The invocation of the script is platform-specific ( must be replaced by the path of the directory containing the virtual environment):

Platform Shell Command to activate virtual environment
Posix bash/zsh $ source /bin/activate
fish $ . /bin/activate.fish
csh/tcsh $ source /bin/activate.csh
Windows cmd.exe C:> \Scripts\activate.bat
PowerShell PS C:> \Scripts\Activate.ps1

Now we're ready to set up the project itself:

pip install -r requirements/base.txt

To set up your database and load initial data, run the following commands:

./manage.py migrate
./manage.py runserver
