Setting Environment First Time

Basic Requirements

1. Python
2. pip

Creating Virtual Environment

A virtual environment is a tool that helps keep dependencies required and the project isolated. If you wish to install a new library and write

pip install name_of_library

on the terminal without activating an environment, all the packages will be installed globally which is not a good practice if you’re working with different projects on your computer.

If this sounds a bit complicated, don’t worry so much because a virtual environment is just a directory that will contain all the necessary files for our project to run.

Installing venv (required once)

Windows

py -m pip install --user virtualenv
py -m venv env

Linux

python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv
python3 -m venv env

You have to start virtual environment everytime you start new terminal -

Windows

Using gitbash

. env/Scripts/activate

Using Powershell

. env\Scripts\activate

Linux

source env/bin/activate

Installing Requirements

Windows

pip install -r requirements.txt

Linux

pip install -r requirementstxt

Setting up Environment File

Configuring Environment Variables

Make environment file by copying the example file -

Migrating Database

Windows

python3 manage.py migrate

Linux

python3 manage.py migrate

Create Superuser

Windows

python3 manage.py createsuperser

Linux

python3 manage.py createsuperser

Starting Development Server

Windows

py manage.py runserver

Linux

python3 manage.py runserver

Leaving the virtual environment

deactivate

Update requirements file (Critical)

If you have installed new dependency, the pip freeze command lists the third-party packages and versions installed in the environment.

Windows

pip freeze > requirements.txt

Linux

pip3 freeze > requirements.txt

Update Database

Everytime you change db models, you need to run makemigrations and migrate to update on database.

Windows

py manage.py makemigrations
py manage.py migrate

Linux

python3 manage.py makemigrations
python3 manage.py migrate
