## Dependencies
Right now it depends on the following non-core Python 3 libraries. These can be installed using the package manager of your distribution
or into the venv locally.
* [django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.
* [django-thumbs-v2](https://github.com/rrmerugu/django-thumbs-v2) Create thumbnails for your images with Django.

Currently the the repo is quite a mess, with full Python 3.8 site-packages
in-repo and other sketchy stuff. This will be fixed sometime.
### Setting up a virtual environment for development
### Setting up a (pipenv) virtual environment for development
source bin/activate (there are several venv definitions for different shells)
source/lostplaces/manage.py migrate
source/lostplaces/manage.py createsuperuser
source/lostplaces/manage.py runserver
After having obtained the repository contents (either via .zip download or git clone), you can easily setup a pipenv virtual environment. The repo provides a Pipfile for easy dependency management that does not mess with your system.
```
$ cd lostplaces-backend
$ pipenv install
$ pipenv shell
(lostplaces-backend) $ lostplaces/manage.py migrate
(lostplaces-backend) $ lostplaces/manage.py createsuperuser
(lostplaces-backend) $ lostplaces/manage.py runserver
```
### Returning to the venv
```
$ cd lostplaces-backend
$ pipenv shell
(lostplaces-backend) $ lostplaces/manage.py runserver
```
Visit: [admin](http://localhost:8000/admin) for administrative backend or
[frontend](http://localhost:8000/)
### Install django system-wide (as user)
pip3 install --user django
Happy developing ;-)
