Make database migrations

Django has sqlite database by default. If you want you can use any sql or nosql database too. In this project I have used sqlite db.

python manage.py makemigrations movierecommender

Then run

python manage.py migrate

Start the development server

To run the web app,run

python manage.py runserver

And open localhost:8000 and navigate to /movierecommender to see the running app or /admin to open the django administration

127.0.0.1:8000/movierecommender 

or

127.0.0.1:8000/admin
