Heroku

A deployed version of this project is available at https://auctions-website.herokuapp.com/.

Installation

The repository tracks only the Django project. To clone it and keep the correct directory structure do the following:

1. Create a virtual environment eg. virtualenv auctions
2. Enter the directory it creates and activate the environment

   cd auctions
   . bin/activate

3. Clone the repository
   • git clone https://github.com/harveyrandall/auctions.git or git clone [email protected]:harveyrandall/auctions.git depending on whether you use SSH or HTTPS.
4. Enter the directory the repository is cloned into

   cd auctions

5. Install the packages the project requires

   pip install -r requirements.txt

The project should now be all setup and ready to run.

Running the server

Run the server like any normal Django project.

python manage.py runserver

To see the progress so far open 127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser.
