Creating a Virtual Environment and Installing Requirements for Blaze 🔥

To ensure a smooth and controlled development environment for Blaze, we'll walk you through the steps of creating a virtual environment and installing the project's dependencies from the requirements.txt file.

• Navigate to your Blaze project directory using the cd cd /path-to-your/Blaze

• Once inside your project directory, create a new virtual environment by running the following command:

  • On Windows: cd /path-to-your/Blaze
  • On macOS and Linux: python3 -m venv venv

• Now that you've created your virtual environment, you need to activate it:

  • On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
  • On macOS and Linux: source venv/bin/activate

• With your virtual environment active, you can install all the required packages listed in the requirements.txt file:

  pip install -r requirements.txt

This command will go through the requirements.txt file and install each package, ensuring that your project has all the necessary dependencies. That's it! You've successfully set up a virtual environment for your Blaze project and installed its dependencies. You're now ready to dive into coding and making Blaze the hottest social media platform for your university! 🔥💻🚀

Running Blaze Locally 🔥

Now that you've set up the virtual environment and installed the necessary dependencies, let's run Blaze locally on your machine. Follow these steps:

• Make sure your virtual environment is still activated. If it's not activated, activate it using the appropriate command:

  • On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
  • On macOS and Linux: source venv/bin/activate

• Navigate to your Blaze project directory if you're not already there:

  cd /path-to-your/Blaze

• Run the development server:

  python manage.py runserver

This command starts the development server, and you should see output indicating that the server is running.

• Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8000/.

Blaze should now be accessible locally on your machine. Explore the features, create an account, and start sharing your university experiences!

Additional Notes 🔍

• If you make changes to the code, make sure to restart the development server to apply the changes.

• Remember to deactivate the virtual environment when you're done: deactivate

That's it! You've successfully set up and run Blaze locally. Enjoy the blazing social experience! 🔥💬📸✨
