  • Go into the project folder that was created when the repo was cloned.

  • Start the project. Be sure to enter the . at the end of the command line in order to create the project in the current folder. Otherwise, django will create a subfolder with the project name and place it one level down.

    Code Block
    django-admin startproject <project name> .

  • Set the ALLOWED_HOSTS setting in the settings.py file. For example:

    Code Block
    ALLOWED_HOSTS = ["ece-li-scheduling-2.eng.uwaterloo.ca", "localhost", "127.0.0.1"]

  • Optional - add a .gitignore file to the root project directory. Add the file db.sqlite3 to this .gitignore file so that the SQLite database does not get stored in the git repo.
