django-todo is a simple yet powerful todo management app built on Django. It allows users to create tasks, prioritize them, and manage them effectively. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of django-todo on NetBSD.
Before we start with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to clone the django-todo repository from GitHub. Open a terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/shacker/django-todo.git
This will download the django-todo repository to your local system.
Now that we have cloned the django-todo repository, let's move on to installing the dependencies required by the app. Navigate to the django-todo directory that we just cloned and run the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the dependencies required by django-todo.
It's always a good practice to create a virtual environment for every Python project, so let's create one for django-todo. In the django-todo directory, run the following command to create a virtual environment:
python -m venv env
This will create a virtual environment named env in the django-todo directory.
Now that we have created the virtual environment, let's activate it. Run the following command:
source env/bin/activate
This will activate the virtual environment, and you should see (env) added to your terminal prompt.
django-todo requires a database to store tasks and other data. Since we are using SQLite, we can create the database file by running the following command:
python manage.py migrate
This will create the SQLite database in the db.sqlite3 file.
To manage django-todo, we need to create a superuser. Run the following command and follow the instructions to create a superuser:
python manage.py createsuperuser
Finally, let's run the server and see django-todo in action. Run the following command:
python manage.py runserver
This will start the Django development server, and you can access django-todo by visiting http://localhost:8000/ in a web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed django-todo on NetBSD. Now you can manage your tasks and be more productive. If you face any issues or have any questions, feel free to post them in the comments below.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
