Setup

The first thing to do is to clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/Vipul115/Web-Blogging-Application.git
$ cd Web-Blogging-Application

Create a virtual environment to install dependencies in and activate it:

$ virtualenv venv

For Windows:

$ venv\Scripts\activate

For Linux or Mac:

$ source venv/bin/activate

Then install the dependencies after navigating to the project directory:

(venv)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Note the (venv) in front of the prompt. This indicates that this terminal session operates in a virtual environment set up by virtualenv.

Once pip has finished downloading the dependencies:

(venv)$ cd <project directory>
(venv)$ python manage.py runserver

And navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/.
