First of all, clone the repo. Then, navigate inside 'toDoList' folder

cd toDoList

Assuming that you have python-pip and virtualenvwrapper installed on your system. If not: for virtualenv see here and here. For pip see here.

Type the command:

mkvirtualenv myToDoList

or, for using python3:

mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 myToDoList

and then, to install the required packages, type:

pip install -r requirements.txt

...and fortunately it will install django and rest framework for you.

To migrate the database, type:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

If you want to create your own superuser, type:

python manage.py createsupersuser

and enter your credentials.

To add some random data just to see how the application works, just execute the following script:

python populate_database.py

This script fills your database with two users, with usernames 'test' and 'panospet'. Each user has some tasks on his name. You can login with their cretentials (see next step) and see their tasks.

To run the application with the custom mini-server django provides, type:

python manage.py runserver

And then hit localhost:8000 to your browser. You now see the login screen. You can log in with the credentials of the superuser you created above, or, with the credentials of the two test users. (test users have password qwe123qwe)

You can log out and log in with some different users, to see that each of them has his own tasks. You can also create, update, delete tasks or mark them as completed.

Enjoy!

If you want to stop the server simply type Ctrl - C in the terminal you started the server before.

To exit the virtual environment, type:

deactivate
