SET-UP DJANGO PROJECT

• Assuming that you have already installed python in your computer.
• First, you need to create an environment at your project location. where, you want to create your project in your computer globally or locally by setting your project path in the terminal.
• To create Virtualenv type python -m venv env in your terminal or console
• Now you need to activate your Virtualenv by typing env\scripts\activate
• You must activate your Virtualenv to download any new dependencies "locally", otherwise those dependencies will install "globally"

INSTALLATION PROCESS OF Django

Here we are using "Python Manager" to download "Django"

If you know how to create Django project you can skip this step.

• First open command prompt in my case Example:C:\Users\ADMIN01> and type pip install django to install Django globally.
• To check whether Django is installed or not type python -m django --version in your terminal or console
• Now open a new command prompt and navigate to the folder where you want to create the Django project.
• In my case Example:C:\Users\ADMIN01\Desktop\django>.
• Now type the following command line django-admin startproject projectname and hit enter to create Django project. Here projectname is nothing but your django project folder name that you want to keep as your project name
• Now you are sucessfully created Django project.
• To create App or Application navigate to your django project folder Example:C:\Users\ADMIN01\Desktop\django\projectname> in your command prompt and type python manage.py startapp appname
• Now you are sucessfully created App in your django project.
• The project that you received will have a file called the requirements.txt file. Now go to that file location and then in your terminal type pip install -r requirements.txt
• The above command will download all the required packages by using the requirements.txt file.
• We have an improtant dependency or module called django-htmlmin it is used to minify the html content. You have already installed HTML_MINIFY with the help of requirements.txt file
• By default we are disabling HTML_MINIFY module i.e., HTML_MINIFY= False if you want to enable HTML_MINIFY module please follow the root path Dashtic/settings.py in that file you will find HTML_MINIFY= False then change it into HTML_MINIFY= True

NOTE: If you have any further queries in installation please refer to the official website HERE

After installation run following command to get Django development server

python manage.py runserver

• First, unzip the project folder that you received from us.
• Navigate as shown Example: F:\project folder\app\templates in that template folder will have 150+ html pages
• Navigate as shown Example: F:\project folder\app\templates\ Open components folder there you will find base.html, custom-base.html and switcher-base.html files
• Here base.html file is the base file for all the html pages
• Here custom-base.html file is the base file for all custom pages ex: login.html, register.html, etc..,
• And switcher-base.html file is the base file for switcherpage.html page
• NOTE : By default switcher is enabled in your template, so the custom styles will not work i.e., RTL, horizontal, hover and etc..,. So if you want to enable those styles, first you need to remove or disable switcher in your template as shown in switcher section in documentation.
• Please refer FAQ'S to activate other versions and styles like RTL, horizontal, horizontal-hover, Dark-mode, Boxed-Layout, Sidemenu-Icon. etc..,

SCSS & CSS

Here we provided package.json and gulpfile.js files in your project, you just need to run npm install in your terminal in your project root path.
