Getting Django up and running requires a few unboxing steps.
Open a terminal in the computation_hist main directory. In PyCharm, click on "Terminal" on the bottom left side. Once, there, apply all database migrations.
python manage.py migrate
Next, we populate the database with our metadata:
python manage.py populate_from_metadata
You are now ready to run the development server:
python manage.py runserver
You can now access either the website itself at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.
Django has excellent documentation. Please read the overview before getting started.
python manage.py createsuperuser
Creating a super user gives you access to Django's extensive admin interface at http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/. This is not required but useful.
