5. Copy the .env.example file to .env file.

   cp .env.example .env
   
   

6. Open the .env file and add an arbitary secret key.

7. Generate Google+ OAuth credentials with the following steps:

   • Go to Google developer console

   • Create a new project if you do not have any (see the drop-down at the top left of your screen).

   • After the project is created you will be redirected to a dashboard. Click on ENABLE API button.

   • Select Google+ API from the Social APIs section.

   • On the next page, click the Enable button to enable Google+ API for your project.

   • To generate credentials, select the Credentials tab from the left navigation menu and hit the ‘Create Credentials’ button.

   • From the drop-down, select OAuth client ID.

   • On the next screen, select the application type (web application in this case) and enter your authorized javascript origins and redirect uri. For now, just set the origin as http://localhost:8000 and the redirect URI as http://localhost:8000/complete/google-oauth2/

   • Now, open the .env file and add your Google OAuth credentials.

   ./manage.py makemigrations
   ./manage.py migrate
   ./manage.py runserver
   
   

10. Open http://localhost:8000 in your browser. (Opening http://127.0.0.1:8000 will cause problems with Social Login)

1. Add the cronjob

   ./manage.py crontab add
   
   

2. Load the fixtures

   ./manage.py loaddata fixtures.json
