As we could not deploy the website on a domain, we are running it on a local machine.
Before running the server, we need to configure the settings locally to enable other devices connected to the same WiFi network to access the website. We do this by:Run the 'ipconfig' command in terminal and obtain the IP at the IPv4 Adress for the WiFi Card on your laptop/PC.
Note this IP Address, let us suppose it is '172.164.0.111'.
Open the Backend folder in Terminal and run the command 'python manage.py runserver 172.164.0.111:8000'
Replace the IP Address in the qrGen.py program with the new IP Address to generate correct QR Codes for entry/exit in the hall You can create an 'admin' user by running the command 'python manage.py createsuperuser' and enter a Username and Password as promted in the terminal.
You can visit the site '172.164.0.111:8000/admin' and populate the Users and corresponding Profiles by using the username and password of the superuser. This creates the dummy database used as an example for the system.
Now to use the site you can use '172.164.0.111:8000/login'
