Setup and Local Development Follow these steps to get the project up and running on your local machine.

Prerequisites Python 3.10+ (Python 3.11 is recommended)

pip (Python package installer)

1. Clone the Repository First, clone the project from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/asechnaya/wishlist.git cd wishlist/mywishlist_project

2. Create and Activate a Virtual Environment It's highly recommended to use a virtual environment to manage project dependencies.

Create a virtual environment

python -m venv venv

Activate the virtual environment

On Windows:

venv\Scripts\activate

On macOS/Linux:

source venv/bin/activate

3. Install Dependencies Install all required Python packages using pip and the requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Database Migrations Apply the database migrations to set up your database tables. If you've previously run the project and encountered database issues, you might need to delete db.sqlite3 and the wishes/migrations/0*.py files before running these commands for a fresh start.

python manage.py makemigrations wishes python manage.py migrate

5. Create a Superuser Create an administrator account to access the Django admin panel and manage users/data.

python manage.py createsuperuser

Follow the prompts to set up your username, email, and password.

python manage.py runserver

You can now access the application in your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.
