Download dependencies from the requirements.txt file

The requirements.txt file contains all the dependencies required for the project to run. Therefore, it need to be installed using the command below.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Now we can run the project

1. Go to the directory where the settings.py file is located. You can do this by running the command below.

cd spotdb

2. Use this command to run the project.

py manage.py runserver

Removing .pyc files (automatically generated files)

Some reasons you may want to remove these files are because many of these files are generated upon the running of the project. To prevent the project folder from taking up too much space, you may want to remove all these files after some development on the project.

Use this command if you want to remove all .pyc files from the project. You must be in the root directory of the project if you want to delete all the .pyc files from the project repository.

git rm *.pyc

If the command above doesn't work, try this one:

git rm -f *.pyc
