python manage.py makemigrations python manage.py migrate

Create a superuser:

python manage.py createsuperuser

python manage.py runserver

Open your browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to see the application.

Dummy Data

For demonstration purposes, the application includes dummy products with attributes such as size and color. These are provided to showcase the application's functionality and are not representative of real inventory.
