Environment setup

backend

python virtual environment

This is recommended but not necessary:

# Create a virtual python environment
# Make suer you have installed virtualenv correctly
python -m venv .venv
# Activate the virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate
# you can check if it works correctly by running:
where python
# If it turns out to be ${pwd}/.venv/bin/python
# that means you activate the enviornment successfully!

# deactivate the virtual environment by running:
deactivate

touch .env
# COPY PAST from .env.example file
# Ask for some variables
