Setup
LowFAT is a moderately extended and styled Django website. Its core dependencies are Python and SQLite3, all other dependencies including Django itself are managed using pip in a Python virtual environment.
Dependencies
- Python >= 3.9
- Django == 4.2
- SQLite 3
Using your preferred package management system ensure Python and Django are installed. We use venv for python environments, other environment managers e.g. Conda may also work but are not documented here.
Initialization
Only run the following commands after you clone this repository or when you pull new commits.
Need to get CSS files, create local database, and load “static” pages.
To create a development server
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install wheel
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

bash bootstrap.sh
python3 manage.py loaddata lowfat/fixtures/*.json
bash entrypoint.sh
python3 manage.py createsuperuser
python3 manage.py runserver
