If you have never used Django before this is a great tutorial to get you started https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/intro/tutorial01/

1. Install python, virtualenv and requirements for the virtualenv such as libpq-dev libjpeg-dev

    $ sudo apt-get install python3-pip libpq-dev libjpeg-dev
    $ pip install virtualenv
   

2. Clone the repository and install the virtualenv and requirements:

    $ git clone https://github.com/fastcast/fastcast-django
    $ cd fastcast-django
    $ virtualenv env
    $ . env/bin/activate
    $ pip install -r requirements.txt
    $ deactivate
   

3. Set up and run:

    $ cp fastcast/default_settings.py fastcast/settings.py
   
    # Print generated secret key
    $ env/bin/python -c "from django.utils.crypto import get_random_string; chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789%^&*(-_=+)'; secret_key = get_random_string(50, chars); print(secret_key)"
   
    # Edit settings.py and enter secret key and make any other site-specific changes such as configuring PostgreSQL
    $ nano dovedale/settings.py
   
    # Runserver
    $ env/bin/python manage.py runserver
