  Save the file. You'll need it to keep sensitive info from the outside world, and make migrations work! 😄

• Migrations

  On your psql console, create your database: > CREATE DATABASE core;

  Then, make your Migrations $ python3 manage.py makemigrations

  Migrate your migrations to persist on the DB $ python3 manage.py migrate

  Finally, add seed data to your newly created database

  • Required: Admin user for shufflebox(P&C)

  $ python3 manage.py loaddata admin.json
  

  • Optional: Initial data to populate your db

  $ python3 manage.py loaddata initial_data.json
  

• Running It

  On your terminal, run the server using this one simple command:

  $ python3 manage.py runserver
  

  You can now access the app on your local browser by using

    http://localhost:8000/
