Step 2: Create a Virtual Environment and install Dependencies
Create a new Virtual Environment for the project and activate it. If you don't have the virtualenv command yet, you can find installation instructions here.
$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
Next, we need to install the project dependencies, which are listed in requirements.txt.
(venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

Now we're ready to start our server which is as simple as:
(venv) $ python manage.py runserver
Open http://localhost:8000 (port number is prompted) to view it in your browser.
The app will automatically reload if you make changes to the code. You will see the build errors and warnings in the console.(DEBUG = True)
