Installing RecipeSage on macOS

RecipeSage is an open source software that helps you discover new recipes based on your dietary preferences and restrictions. If you are a macOS user and want to install it on your system, this tutorial will guide you step-by-step on how to do it.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following:

• macOS system (version 10.9 or later)
• Python (version 3.5 or later)
• git

Step 1: Clone the Repository

The first step is to clone the RecipeSage repository from GitHub. Open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to download the repository.

cd ~/Documents

Now, clone the repository using git.

git clone https://github.com/julianpoy/recipesage.git

This will create a new directory called recipesage in your current directory.

Step 2: Install Required Packages

RecipeSage relies on several Python modules to function correctly. You can install them using the pip package manager.

cd recipesage
pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install all the required packages.

Step 3: Set Up the Database

RecipeSage stores its data in a SQLite database. To set it up, run the following command:

python manage.py migrate

This will create the database tables required by RecipeSage.

Step 4: Run the Server

Finally, start the RecipeSage server by running the following command:

python manage.py runserver

This will start the server on http://localhost:8000/.

Conclusion

Congratulations, you have successfully installed RecipeSage on your macOS system. You can now browse recipes, save your favorites, and get recommendations based on your dietary preferences and restrictions.
