Quick Start

To get this project up and running locally on your computer:

1. Set up the Python development environment. I recommend using a Python virtual environment.
2. Assuming you have Python setup, run the following commands (if you're on Windows you may use py or py -3 instead of python to start Python):

   pip3 install -r requirements.txt
   python3 manage.py makemigrations
   python3 manage.py migrate
   python3 manage.py collectstatic
   python3 manage.py createsuperuser # Create a superuser
   python3 manage.py runserver
   

3. Open a browser to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ to open the admin site
4. Create a few test products to see the site in action.
5. Open tab to http://127.0.0.1:8000 to see the main site, with your new objects.
