I want to run this project

CodePudding user response：

I'm on Windows 10. If you're not opposed to using Windows Command Prompt, here are the steps to running this project. I don't use Powershell but if you must, see Powershell note at bottom of my answer.

1. Go here: https://github.com/sajib1066/django-event-management
2. Grab this clone link: https://github.com/sajib1066/django-event-management.git
3. Open Windows CMD prompt.
4. Change directory to a place on your computer. Ex: cd "C:\Users\<your_user>\Downloads"
5. Make new directory: mkdir SO72525733 && cd SO72525733
6. git clone https://github.com/sajib1066/django-event-management.git

 Output:
 C:\Users\Jarad\Downloads\SO72525733>git clone https://github.com/sajib1066/django-event-management.git

 Resolving deltas: 100% (1141/1141), done.

7. cd django-event-management
8. virtualenv venv

 Output:
 C:\Users\Jarad\Downloads\SO72525733\django-event-management>virtualenv venv
 created virtual environment CPython3.7.3.final.0-64 in 10271ms
   creator CPython3Windows(dest=C:\Users\Jarad\Downloads\SO72525733\django-event-management\venv, clear=False, no_vcs_ignore=False, global=False)
   seeder FromAppData(download=False, pip=bundle, setuptools=bundle, wheel=bundle, via=copy, app_data_dir=C:\Users\Jarad\AppData\Local\pypa\virtualenv)
     added seed packages: pip==22.0.4, setuptools==62.1.0, wheel==0.37.1
   activators BashActivator,BatchActivator,FishActivator,PowerShellActivator,PythonActivator,XonshActivator

9. venv\Scripts\activate
10. You should see your terminal add (venv) to the path. That's how you know your virtual environment is activated in the terminal. Ex: (venv) C:\Users\Jarad\Downloads\SO72525733\django-event-management>
11. pip install -r requirements.txt
12. python manage.py migrate (or just manage.py migrate works too if you're in the root directory)
13. python manage.py createsuperuser
14. python manage.py runserver

If you must use Powershell, activating the virtual environment is no different.
