Setup-Guide

Step 1: Check for Git Installation

First, check if Git is already installed on your system:

git --version

If Git is not installed, you can download and install it from the official website: Git Downloads.

Step 2: Clone the Git Repository

git clone https://github.com/naveedkhan1998/SOA-ServiceRegistry.git

Step 3: Change Directory to the Cloned Project

cd SOA-ServiceRegistry.

Change your current working directory to the newly cloned project.

Step 4: Install virtualenv

pip install virtualenv

This command installs the virtualenv package, which is necessary for creating isolated Python environments.

Step 5: Create a Virtual Environment

python -m venv venv

This command sets up a new virtual environment in a directory named venv.

Step 6: Activate the Virtual Environment

On Windows

. venv\Scripts\activate

On macOS and Linux

source venv/bin/activate

Activating the virtual environment isolates your Python environment and ensures that you use the packages installed within the environment.

Step 7: Install Project Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

This command installs the required packages listed in your requirements.txt file.

Step 8: Run Your Project

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080
