To set-up the development environment on your local machine, follow the below steps:

1. Fork the repository to your github account.
2. Clone the forked repository to your local machine.
3. Download and install Python from here. Downloading python is mandatory for windows users. On macOS you may have python 2.x pre-installed, consider installing python 3.7 or higher. This step is generally not required for most linux users since most linux distros come with pre-installed python (typically 3.7 or higher).

Make sure you add python to your system path if it's not already added

• Open command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to create a virtual environment (preferably the parent directory of the one in which the cloned project resides).
• Create a virtual environment: python -m venv env. Here, env can be replaced by any name of your choice.
• Activate the virtual environment: env\Scripts\activate.bat.
• run: pip install -r requirements.txt.
• Navigate into the project directory where you have the manage.py file
• Now run the server: python manage.py runserver.
• Open a browser and go to: https://localhost:8000/. You should see a working django app showing that "the install worked successfully."

• Open the terminal and follow the same steps as in the above Windows section with a few changes described below.
• Instead of using python in commands, use python3.
• To activate the virtual environment: source env/bin/activate.
• Other steps are same as in Windows.
