• After Module 4: Setting Up a Data Model
• After Module 5: Combining Model, View and Template
• After Module 6: URLs and Link Building
• After Module 7: Templates, Styling and Static Content
• After Module 8: Adding User Interaction with ModelForms
• After Module 9: Editing Meetings and Authentication

Setup instructions

1. Clone this repository

Check out any specific commit you like.

2. Create and activate a virtual environment

How to do this depends on your system; depending on your IDE this may not be necessary.

If you don't know how to do this: see my course Development Environments and Package Management in Python 3

3. Install dependencies

Inside the project, run python -m pip install -r requirements.txt.

4. Move into the meeting_planner folder

You want to be in the folder where the file manage.py is.

To get there, You probably need to run cd meeting_planner.

But watch out: there are two of those and you want to be in the outer meeting_planner folder. If you end up 1 level too deep, run cd .. to move up 1 level.

5. Run the project

The command for this is python manage.py runserver.

You can now view the project at http://localhost:8000

If this does not work, you are probably not in the correct folder.

6. Admin password

The username/password for the admin interface is: user: test password: test

Or you can of course create your own using the command python manage.py createsuperuser.
