## Installation

1. Clone or download this repository and open it in your editor of choice: 

```bash

git clone https://github.com/shahsad-kp/ConnectionHub.git

```

2. cd into project repository.

```bash

 cd ConnectionHub

 ``` 

3. To get this project up and running you should start by having Python installed on your computer. It's advised you create a virtual environment to store your projects dependencies separately. You can install virtualenv with



```bash

sudo apt install python3-venv

```

4. Within the directory run the following command to create your new virtual environment:

```bash

python3 -m venv my-project-env

```

The command above creates a directory called my-project-env, which contains a copy of the Python binary, the Pip package manager, the standard Python library and other supporting files.



5. To start using this virtual environment, you need to activate it by running the activate script:

```bash

source my-project-env/bin/activate.

```

Once activated, the virtual environment’s bin directory will be added at the beginning of the $PATH variable. Also your shell’s prompt will change and it will show the name of the virtual environment you’re currently using. In our case that is 

```bash 

(my-project-env) $

```

Now that the virtual environment is activated, we can start installing, upgrading, and removing packages using pip.



6. The first step is to install the module,using the Python package manager, pip:

```bash

pip -r install requirements.txt

```

Modify `ConnectionHub/setting.py` with database settings based on your requirements



7. Run the following commands in the root folder.

```bash

python manage.py makemigrations

python manage.py migrate

```

8. Also create a superuser by :

```bash

python manage.py createsuperuser

```

9. To get start runserver locally by:

```bash

python manage.py runserver

```

Open up a browser and visit: http://127.0.0.1:8000/ , then you will see the application.
