Setup Instructions

1. Install Requirements: Install all the required packages using the following command:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   Note: If you are running into issues with numpy & panda due to incompatibilities with working with Python 3.8.10, update the requirements.txt :

   from

   numpy==1.22.2
   pandas==1.0.5
   

   to

   numpy>=1.20.0
   pandas>=1.3.0
   

2. PostgreSQL Setup: Ensure you have PostgreSQL installed and running. Create a database and configure the connection details in a .env file.

3. Generate a Secret Key: Use the following command to generate a Django secret key:

   python -c "from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key; print(get_random_secret_key())"  

   Copy the output and save it for the next step.

4. Create .env File: Create a .env file with the following information:

   SYSTEM_API_KEY=""
   SECRET_KEY=""
   
   # Database
   POSTGRES_DB="postgres"
   POSTGRES_USER="postgres"
   POSTGRES_PASSWORD=""
   POSTGRES_HOST="localhost"
   POSTGRES_PORT="5432" #default port
   
   # Logging
   SENTRY_DSN_URL=""
   
   # Local stuff
   DJANGO_DEBUG="False"
   
   #Other
   CACHE_DIR=""
   500_ERRORS_FILE=""
   

5. Set up caching folder

   mkdir /path/to/cache
   chmod 755 /path/to/cache

   Currently the setup is done for file-based caching. Caching folder should sit outsite the repository/app root folder.

6. Run Migrations: Apply the database migrations using the following command:

   python manage.py migrate

7. Collecting Static: Make the server's ui and images work using the following command:

   python manage.py collectstatic

8. Run the Server: Start the development server using the following command:

   python manage.py runserver

   Note: If your server lacks ui and images do the following: In your .env file set DJANGO_DEBUG to True

   DJANGO_DEBUG="True"

   Run the server

   python manage.py runserver

   Close the server using Ctrl + C Set DJANGO_DEBUG to False

   DJANGO_DEBUG="False"
