Check if python is installed.
Run python3 --version or python --version.
If Python is not installed, download and install it from python.org
Check if pip package manager is installed.
Run pip --version.
If not install run python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel to install.
Run source venv/bin/activate in the root project directory. cd backend and install the following. If already installed skip running the server.
Run python3 -m pip install Django.
Check if install by running django-admin --version.
Within the backend directory install the following Django frameworks:
Run pip install djangorestframework.
Run pip install django-cors-headers.
Run pip install psycopg2-binary.
Run pip install PyJWT.
Run pip install daphne.
Run pip install channels.
Run pip install supabase.
Now you can run python3 manage.py runserver.
This will set up Django's environment and links.
In another terminal start the redis-server. Ensure the VENV is started and cd to the backend and type the command redis-server. If not found you may have to install redis.
Ensure that Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) are installed on your system. These are necessary to manage the project's frontend dependencies and to run the development server.
Change directory to /Serenity/web.
Run npm install and then npm start.
The webpage should load correctly.
Start the server via npx expo start.
mobile/lib/helper/djangoURL.js, edit this accordingly (it is currently set as Taseen's computer's local IP for his home network). It is required so that your requests to django are sent to the right place. If using a personal device (expo go app), start the django server with the command python3 manage.py runserver X.X.X.X:PORT. X.X.X.X should be your own computers IP and PORT should be 8000. Also add your IP to ALLOWED_HOSTS in backend/backend/settings.py. Using your computers local IP should allow you to use your mobile phone as well as the emulator to handle requests such as the to do list. Starting the django server normally (localhost) will work still (for emulators only) but please uncomment the localhost line in mobile/lib/helper/djangoURL.js and comment out the line above it.
Note, running the django server on your computers local IP is not yet supported by the website (it expects localhost); it should only be used for mobile development. Simultaneous website support will be added later. For now if using the website, start the server normally (localhost).
