Project Setup

First, install Django: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/intro/install/

Then, clone this repository to your local machine.

Finally, in the root directory of this repo, run python3 manage.py runserver and navigate to localhost:8000 - you should see a message from Django indicating it is running successfully.

Updating the DB

Run: python3 manage.py migrate

Also, you'll need to create a file named .env with the following contents:

DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///db.sqlite3

Running Tests

python3 manage.py test test/

Setting Up Admin

python3 manage.py createsuperuser

Preloading Data

python3 manage.py add_data

This will create a couple example users, posts, reports, etc. to make testing easier. You will probably need to wipe the DB with python3 manage.py flush first, which will also require you to recreate the admin account.

Uploading to Heroku

First, install the heroku command line utility, create a heroku app, and provision the postgres addon.

Then, set the heroku remote to your app name and push to the heroku repo via git push heroku master.

Then, setup the database with heroku run python3 manage.py migrate.
