How to run

Create and activate a virtual environment.

virtualenv -p python3 venv 
source venv/bin/activate

Install requirements.txt

pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a file .env where manage.py is located similar to .env-sample and set your environment variables (mandatory).

Create required Directories

mkdir -p static/{css,js,img} static_cdn/{static_root,media_root} templates/{snippets,layouts} apps logs locale

Run Migrations & Migrate and Create a superuser

python manage.py makemigrations 
python manage.py migrate 

# Create superuser 
python manage.py createsuperuser

Run management command to fill the zip code database using zipcode csv.

python manage.py fill_zipcode apps/users/states_pincode/indian_states_zipcode.xls

This will take a long, better to open a new terminal and proceed.

Run Django server

python manage.py runserver 0:8005

Setup Frontend (Vue.js)

# Open a new terminal first 
cd frontend/searchyourguru 

# Create a .env file here
touch .env 

# Set the API endpoint where you will run your Django server 
# Make sure this is correct, otherwise your API won't work 

VUE_APP_API_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8005

Install npm packages using the command

npm install

Run vuejs server

npm run serve # It will run the server on default port 8080

That's all.
