⚙️ MongoDB Setup

This project uses MongoDB Atlas as the database. To connect your own MongoDB instance:

1. Create a .env file in the root directory.
2. Add your MongoDB URI:

# .env
MONGO_URI=mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster.mongodb.net/elibrary

Ensure your mongodb.py utility file reads from this environment variable.

🧪 How to Run Locally

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Arni005/elibrary.git
cd elibrary

2. Create a virtual environment & activate it:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Set up your .env file with MongoDB URI (as above).

5. Run the development server:

python manage.py runserver
