Installation for REST API Server Side

Open a terminal (on root project/server):

1. virtualenv venv

3. pip install -r requirements.txt if you have error with 'docutils' package, you can uninstall it: pip uninstall docutils
4. make migrations (next topic)
5. create a superusers ('create superuser' topic)

Make migrations

On Django when you create a new model of data (example: posts model, authentication model, etc) you have to create a specific migration for each model.

In this case, we have djangoapps/authentication model and djangoapps/posts model (the latter, I leave it as an example for when you need to create a new app in the future).

In order to create migrations for each models (in this case 'authentication' and 'posts') you have to: python manage.py makemigrations <app_label> in our case would be python manage.py makemigrations authentication and python manage.py makemigrations posts

In order to see If you create each migrations well you can use the following command: python manage.py showmigrations You should see the migrations list, including 'authentication' and 'posts' models (with X).

To run each migrations:

• python manage.py migrate

Create Superuser

In order to test that all it's right, you should create a superuser in order to LogIn on Django Rest Admin Page:

• python manage.py createsuperuser

Usage for REST API Server

Here if everything is OK, you should run server and go to localhost on browser, you should be able to see Django Rest Admin Page.

• python manage.py runserver
