How to run locally

The application was tested using a Postgres database (although it can use other Django supported databases if the required driver is installed and the config is adjusted in the .env file).

• Create a virtual environment and activate it

python -m venv venv

./venv/Scripts/activate

• Install the requirements

pip install -r requirements

• Create the database
• Create a .env file with the database info

DATABASE_URL=postgres://<db_user>:<db_password>@localhost:5432/<db_name>

• Run the Django commands to init the database and create an admin user

python manage.py makemigrations

python manage.py migrate

python manage.py createsuperuser

• Run the server

python manage.py runserver

• Access the admin logging in with the admin user created and start saving your job applications
