This is for installing and using in development. If you want to deploy it, see production.

• git clone https://github.com/bigyanse/blango.git
• cd blango
• pnpm install or npm install or yarn

If you use pipenv,

• pipenv install
• pipenv shell
• pnpm watch:style & pnpm dev

If you prefer, python's venv,

• python -m venv .env
• source .env/bin/activate.fish or choose one that fits your shell environment.
• python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
• pnpm watch:style & pnpm dev

In case, if you want to deploy this blog application to production by tweaking this project, here is how you can go about it.

• Make sure you have all the prerequisites.
• After that, you can install all the required packages using python -m pip install -r requirements.txt.
• The db.sqlite3 database is only here for demo purpose. So, you may need to setup your own database. If you want to use sqlite as a database then you can just delete db.sqlite3 named file in the directory and proceed the steps below. Else, configure the database you want and also, follow the steps below.
• Run python manage.py migrate.
• Set DEBUG = False in core/settings.py.
• Set ALLOWED_HOSTS = ["*"] in core/settings.py or your desired value.
• Run pnpm build:style or npm run build:style or yarn build:style for tailwindcss.
• Run python manage.py collectstatic.
• Now you can deploy it using gunicorn core.wsgi.
