Coursist

Course + Assist, get it?

Description

This project is intended for university students all around the world.
The main features that this project supplies are:

  1. Social course review system.
  2. Semestrial courses schedule building tool.
  3. Course program planning for the entire degree.

Installation

Important: You will need python 3.7+ to run this project.

  1. Clone the project.
  2. Create a virtual environment (if you use Pycharm, you can do it like that).
  3. In the terminal, make sure that when you type python you use the virtual environment's python
    (If you use Pycharm that will happen by default in the integrated terminal, otherwise you will need to use the source command).
  4. Run make install (if you dont have make installed, just run the commands under install inside the Makefile).

Usage

Basics

First, you need to run the local server:

  1. Run python manage.py runserver (If you use Pycharm it should detect this is a Django project, so you will be able to run the server without a terminal command).
  2. Open http://localhost:8000 in your preferred web browser.

If everything went well, the server is now running on your local machine. You can use the site as a regular user (Facebook and Google login won't work).
The installation process also created an admin user: its user name is admin and the password is 123456. Open http://localhost:8000/admin and log in with your admin user. Now you can see and control the entire database and the system's models.

Management commands

The server allows to run these custom commands:

  1. python manage.py dev_init: Initiates the database with dummy data for development purposes.
  2. python manage.py fetch_courses: Retrieves courses data from HUJI servers.
    Run python manage.py help fetch_courses to learn about the limit and fetch_existing arguments.

Contribution

Before committing any change, please run make black in the terminal.
