This is my second Django tutorial as I dive into Test-Driven-Development. The tutorial comes from the Test Driven Development with Python by Harry Percival, see it here.

Compared to my first tutorial, Tango with Django, this Superlists app is a lot more simpler (though not less complex), as it's main focus is on creating a test suite for the app rather than creating a flashy application.

• Create a directory beforehand, call it lists and cd into it

  mkdir lists && cd lists

• Now, inside lists/ create a directory called database,

  mkdir database

• Finally, inside lists/ you can clone down the repo,

  git clone https://github.com/danielcodes/superlists.git

The database folder is kept outside the source code during deployment, so we setup the same way during development.

Before starting up the server, you need to create a virtualenv and install the dependencies,

• In list/, run virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 lists, activate it source lists/bin/activate
• Install dependencies, pip install -r superlists/requirements.txt

Now that we have Django, Run python manage.py migrate to create the database and start the server with python manage.py runserver. Go to http://localhost:8000/ :)
