Installation

To run this project, it is recommended to set up a Python virtual environment. This will help you isolate the project's dependencies from your system-wide Python installation. Follow the steps below to get started:

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or higher installed on your system.

Setting up a Virtual Environment

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Navigate to the project's root directory:

   cd /path/to/CanteenConnect

3. Create a Python virtual environment (you can replace venv with your preferred name):

   python -m venv venv

4. Activate the virtual environment:

   • On macOS and Linux:

   source venv/bin/activate

   • On Windows:

   venv\Scripts\activate

Installing Dependencies

With the virtual environment activated, you can now install the project's dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install all the necessary packages listed in the requirements.txt file.

Running the Project

Start the Development Server:

To run the Django development server, use the following command:

python manage.py runserver

This will start the server, and you can access your Django project at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in your web browser.

Deactivating the Virtual Environment

When you're done working on the project, deactivate the virtual environment:

deactivate

Happy coding!
