Testing Boorunaut locally

Boorunaut is only compatible with Python 3. Check which version is instaled with the command python. You may be required to use the commands python3 and pip3 instead of python and pip.

Boorunaut comes ready to test with SQLite, needing just a few commands. For starting a project:

pip install boorunaut
boorunaut startproject mysite
cd mysite

Then, you just need to migrate (generate) the database and create a superuser for administration. You will be able to login as an Administrator in the website with these.

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
python manage.py runserver

The terminal will print the local URL in which you can test Boorunaut. Generally, the URL will be http://localhost:8000/.

For using in production with PostgreSQL, you will need some extra steps. Check the tutorial.
