### Built with

![Django Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/-Django-092E20?style=for-the-badge&labelColor=black&logo=django&logoColor=white)

## :hammer: Getting started

### Pre requisites

- [Python][python-download] - 3.9 or up

- [Django][django-link] - 3.2.4

### Installation

#### Pipfile and Pipfile.Lock

Inside the Pipfile there's all the modules name needed for the project. 

1. Download Pipenv through the terminal window ***(make sure you have [Python][python-download] installed)***:

	```python

    pip install pipenv

    ```

    

2. After installing pipenv all you have to do is to download the files and in the terminal window, go to the folder with these files and run:

	```python

    pipenv install

    ```

    This will create a virtual environment with all the modules needed.

3. We must have this virtual environment to run our program, through the terminal window:

	```python

    pipenv shell # To run the virtual environment

    exit         # To close the virtual environment

    ```

### Setting up Gmail for Django Mail API

We need to make some changes in our Gmail account to send an Email. Visit this link with your account signed in:

[Gmail Account Settings](https://myaccount.google.com/security?pli=1)

The link contains a specific setting that allows access via Django mail API. Since our web application is not a google registered service, it is a less secured app. Therefore, we allow less secured apps to our settings.



**Less secure app** access option will be present. Turn on the access.



**Note:**

If you are just testing, then you can temporarily do this setting. 

## :email: Send emails

On your terminal window, go to the folder with the Pip files and type: 

```python

pipenv shell

```

Then change to the folder with `manage.py` and type: 

```python

python manage.py runserver

```
