* [Redis](https://redislabs.com/) key value store
* [Homebrew v2](https://brew.sh/2019/02/02/homebrew-2.0.0/) - not for Windows - replace with Chocolatey?
## :floppy_disk: Setup
* [Install Python](https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/installation/)
* [Install pip](https://docs.python-guide.org/dev/virtualenvs/#installing-pipenv)
* [Install Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/howto/windows/) by typing `pip install Django`
* Run `django-admin startproject crypto_proj` to create a new project [ref. docs](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/intro/tutorial01/)
* Open `crypto_proj` in VS Code
* Run `python manage.py startapp positions` to create Python module
* Add code
* Run `pip freeze` to see list of modules installed. [Ref. Docs](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_freeze/)
* Run `python manage.py makemigrations` for changes to models etc.
* Run `python manage.py migrate` to migrate the migration files.
