2. Start the containers with docker-compose up

Without Docker

Recommended way is to have this all in a virtualenv.

These instructions are for UNIX based OS. On Windows, please see how you can install virtualenv for you OS. Also, if you are using Windows, consider using Windows 10 Bash.

Install virtualenv:

pip3 install virtualenv

Then create a new folder for virtualenvs and create a new virtualenv

cd 
mkdir venvs
cd venvs
virtualenv imagegallery

Then activate it

source imagegallery/bin/activate

Now, depending on your shell, you should see that you are in imagegallery virtualenv. For example, on bash you can see (imagegallery) in front of the bottom line.

Then clone the repository and go inside it.

cd 
git clone https://github.com/Alqio/imagegallery.git
cd imagegallery

Install all required modules.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

And then wait for everything to install.

You can run the server like this:

python3 manage.py runserver
