Unsplash Blogging Application

Setup

The first thing to do is to clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/gocardless/sample-django-app.git
$ cd sample-django-app

Create a virtual environment to install dependencies in and activate it:

$ python -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate

Then install the dependencies:

(venv)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Note the (venv) in front of the prompt. This indicates that this terminal session operates in a virtual environment set up by virtualenv2.

Once pip has finished downloading the dependencies:

(env)$ cd project
(env)$ python manage.py runserver

And navigate to http://localhost:8000.
