REQUIRES: Python >= 3.6.6, Django >= 3.0.7 and other packages specified in 'reqs.txt'
-
Clone or download the source code. Create a virtual enviroment (venv) with
python -m venv mynewvirtualenv. A folder called 'mynewvirtualenv' will be created -
Go inside the 'mynewvirtualenv' folder, then go inside 'Scripts' folder and activate the virtual enviroment with
. activate, then go back to the root of the proyect -
Install pip, update it if necessary; do it with
python -m pip install --upgrade pip. Then install the required packages with the commandpip install -r reqs.txt -
Run migrations with
python manage.py migrate -
Create a superuser with
python manage.py createsuperuserand fill the required info
IMPORTANT: After step 5 a blog_author object must be created, this object will have a One To One relation with the superuser due the models are configured that way to create also an author when a user is created. In production, the blog_author object for the superuser isn't actually required (that's why neither the slug, email or bio are needed) but it is required at the set-up moment in order not to produce an error that says that the blog_author instance is missing. Now we'll see how to avoid this and create the object from the python shell
* Open the interactive shell: `python manage.py shell`, then import the model with `from MyApp.models import blog_author`
* Import the superuser: `from django.contrib.auth.models import User`, you can verify if the superuser has been created with
`User.objects.all()` - You'll see the user you've created in step 5.
* Create the supusr object with `supusr = User.objects.get(username='Username')`, Username is the same you wrote in step 5
* Then create the blog_author object with `blog_author.objects.create(name=supusr)` and that's it
