How to use

I have broken the steps by branches so you can follow along.

In your working directory:

git clone https://github.com/marqetintl/django-react-boilerplate.git

Next, create a virtual environment called env and activate it with:

cd  django-react-boilerplate
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate

Install dependencies:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
cd client/
npm install

Build the project and run the server

./manage.py build
./manage.py runserver

Finally, open your browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/.
