SETUP.md

JO Project - Documentation

Setup

You need to navigate to the admin folder and execute the command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Database

First, please configure the database access in admin/mainapp/settings.py and set your MySQL credentials in DATABASES.

Once this is done, you need to use the following commands (from the admin folder) to run the migrations (this will automatically create all the necessary tables like mainapp_team, mainapp_stadium, mainapp_event, etc.):

python manage.py makemigrations mainapp
python manage.py migrate

The commands must be executed in order.

The project uses fixtures to automatically load default data (stadiums, teams, events) into the database. Execute this command (from the admin folder):

python manage.py loaddata mainapp/fixtures/initial_data.json

Note: The data_jo.sql file is a SQL backup and is not used in the setup process. Django migrations automatically create all tables.

Admin dashboard

To access the admin interface, you must first create a superuser account using the following command

python manage.py createsuperuser

Fill in the required information, then start the server with the command:

python manage.py runserver

Warning: These commands must be executed from the admin folder

To access the admin panel, open your browser and enter the following address:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/myadmin

(The URL http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin being Django's default admin interface)

You will need to authenticate with the credentials you created previously. Once authenticated, you will have access to the admin interface.
