For installing required packages, execute the following command in terminal:
$pip install -r requirements.txt
Create a Database and Database User
$sudo su - postgres
You should now be in a shell session for the postgres user. Log into a Postgres session by typing:
psql
First, we will create a database for our Django project. We will call our database myproject
CREATE DATABASE myproject;
Next, we will create a database user which we will use to connect to and interact with the database. Set the password to something strong and secure:
CREATE USER myprojectuser WITH PASSWORD 'password';
We are setting the default encoding to UTF-8, which Django expects. We are also setting the default transaction isolation scheme to "read committed", which blocks reads from uncommitted transactions. Lastly, we are setting the timezone. By default, our Django projects will be set to use UTC:
ALTER ROLE myprojectuser SET client_encoding TO 'utf8';
ALTER ROLE myprojectuser SET default_transaction_isolation TO 'read committed';
ALTER ROLE myprojectuser SET timezone TO 'UTC';
-
After successful installation execute the following commands:
$python3 manage.py makemigrations $python3 manage.py migrate $python3 manage.py runserver
After creating the database structure, we can create an administrative account by typing:
python manage.py createsuperuser
You will be asked to select a username, provide an email address, and choose and confirm a password for the account.
