# Messenger
A one-to-one realtime chat app.
[](https://gitpod.io/from-referrer/)
## Initial Setup
Create the PostgreSQL database (these instructions may need to be adapted for your operating system):
```
psql
CREATE DATABASE messenger;
\q
```
Create a `.env` file in the server directory and add the following variables (make any modifications to fit your local installation):
```
SECRET_KEY="YourSecretKey"
ENV="development"
POSTGRES_ENGINE="django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2"
POSTGRES_HOST="localhost"
POSTGRES_PORT=5432
POSTGRES_DATABASE="messenger"
POSTGRES_USER="user"
POSTGRES_PASSWORD="password"
```
In the server folder, install dependencies and then seed the database (you may want to use a virtual environment):
```
cd server
pip install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py shell
from messenger_backend.seed import seed
seed()
exit()
```
In the client folder, install dependencies:
```
cd client
npm install
```
### Running the Application Locally
In one terminal, start the front end:
```
cd client
npm start
```
In a separate terminal, start the back end:
```
cd server
python manage.py runserver
```
### Running Tests on the Server
```
cd server
python manage.py test
```
