DSC Portal App Beta

Installation for Front-end dependencies:

The front end is pure CSS, using SASS as a pre-processor

Install nodejs and npm on your system

Arch/Manjaro Base

$ pacman -S nodejs npm

Debian/Ubuntu Base

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nodejs
$ sudo apt install npm

Mac OSX

Install Home brew

$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
$ brew install node

---

In project root folder run the following command to install dependencies

$ npm install

Then run the next two commands in the project root folder in seperate or tabbed terminals

$ npm run compile:sass

The only caveat to this is you only need to run the compile:sass command if you plan on making changes to the code

Installation for Back-end dependencies:

This application is using Python/Django as the backend language, Postgres for the database, and relies on Google api's for google sheets/drive integration

---

Make sure you have a python installation on your system >= 3.6

Install pip, virtual-env and postgres dev libraries

Debian/Ubuntu base

$ sudo apt install python3-pip
$ sudo apt install python3-venv
$ sudo apt install libpq-dev

In the project root folder, create a virtual environment, activate it, and install all dependencies via requirements.txt

$ python3 -m venv .env
$ source .env/bin/activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Django specific commands are next to manage the built-in server for development with manage.py

Start the server

$ python3 manage.py runserver
