Sit tight. If migrations fail, delete everything (the repo, the database, etc.) and start over. (I have learnt this the hard way: DO NOT TRACK MIGRATIONS FILES, and everything works fine.)
Install: python, postgresql
Clone the repo.
Create a virtual environment and run pip install -r requirements.txt.
You'll have to provide /arc/local_settings.py.
You'll also have to fix some of the absolute paths in I am lazy./arc/settings.py because
cd to /main/static/main and
npm install jquery popper.js bootstrap katex showdown open-iconic.
cd to the cloned repo (while you're still in virtual env) and run: python manage.py collectstatic, python manage.py makemigrations main, python manage.py migrate
Start the server: python manage.py runserver or you can run an apache
server, thats how the deployed server is running presently. Configuring an
apache server is very machine-specific. Google how to do it on your
machine.)
Please let me know if you're unable to run it on your machine.
User model: currently we are using django-authtools which is not
compatible with Django 3.
Django 3: Make the source compatible with Django 3. I believe that
django-authtools is the only thing that is not compatible, but there might
be other dependencies which don't support Django 3 yet.
Non-Upload Items: Add support for items which are not necessarily file uploads (for example, links).
