Projects

Week 4

Pip, Virtual environments and intro to Django (python) Project

Create a new Django project named “songcrud” and create an app in the project called “musicapp”. Your project must contain a requirements.txt file housing all the pinned dependencies from your project. Push the project to GitHub and submit your public GitHub repository link.

Note: Always create a virtual environment anytime you're working on a new Django project. You can get your requirements.txt file from your virtual environment

TASK EXPLANATION

This task was done in Vscode.

Before you , open VScode, you create a folder in your desktop. All files would be automatically saved in this folder.

Makesure that the python extension is intalled in VScode.

Open a new terminal, and create a virtual environment, you can give this virtual enviorment any name. The name of my virtual environment in this repo is "my-zuri-week-4-task".

It is in this virtual environment that you install django

open a file in your workspace and name the file requirements.txt. it is in this file that you will pin all your dependencies.

The dependencies are softwares required for your django project to run or work effectively.

to pin thsi dependencies, simply type them into your requirements.txt file and assign their veriosn using the "==" symbol. to check if the request has been satisfied. type the code "py -m pip install -r requirements.txt".

this code will makesure all the required dependencies have been installed. if they have been install, your terminal, will show you that the request has already been satisfied.
