Dev Setup

Beginners Edition

• Fork and Clone the Repo

• Rename the maintt/maintt/.env.example file to .env and update the configurations appropriately:

DB_NAME=maintt
DB_USER=travis
DB_PASS=
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306

• Create a VirtualEnv for the project, see the guide here.

• cd into the /maintt package and run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Run migrations

Optional: You will need to create migrations for the api application in case they are not there.

python manage.py makemigrations api

python manage.py migrate

• Create a superuser for the purpose of testing

python manage.py createsuperuser

TIP: use admin / admin for simplicity.

• Run the server:

python manage.py runserver [port-number]

• Access DRF's Browsable API at:

http://localhost:port/api/

Login with the superuser created in the previous step above.
