A social network created with Django.

Live demo

First make sure that you have python, django, redis & Node.js installed.

Now clone this project to your machine

git clone https://github.com/7Pros/circuit.git

After that's done go into the created circuit folder.

Run

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

We use Bootstrap for the frontend.

To pull in all Bootstrap dependencies we use bower.
At this point you should already have node installed, so run the following to get bower, if not installed.

npm install -g bower gulp

npm install

Now you can use bower to fetch all dependencies

bower install

At last we need gulp to compile all our assets. Simply run gulp

gulp

You're ready to start the django and the notification server with

python manage.py runserver

and

python notification_server

Don't forget to have your redis-server. If you don't know how to do that, just go to your favorite command line program and type:

redis-server

Open 127.0.0.1:8000 - DONE

While developing you will need to run a smtp server, once you try to sign up.

python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025

This will start a smtp server in your command line which django will send emails to.
