Installation

Python Virtualenv

Using your preferred mechanism, create a virtual Python environment.

virtualenv <dir>

Where <dir> is a given directory; such as venv Ensure the Python version is 3.6 (if it is not the default) by running virtualenv <dir> --python=python3 or similar.

Activate the virtualenv

**Windows**
<virtualenv_dir>/Scripts/activate.bat

**Unix**
source <virtualenv_dir>/bin/activate

At this point you can check the Python version by running python --version.

Install the requirements

cd <dir>
pip install -r requirements.txt 

Ubuntu-based users may also need to run sudo apt install libpq-dev python3-dev

Run the server

python manage.py runserver 

Pages can be browsed locally at http://localhost:8000/

Sass

Install npm with

npm install

And then use either

npm run css_compile

to compile, or

npm run css_watch

to recompile after every save of a Sass file.
