Purch

Purch is a personal finance management app for every-day and long term finances.

Setup

This application uses uv as its python manager (both version and venvs). You can install it with the official installer:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

or via homebrew:

brew install uv

The official installation is recommended.

To generate your .env file run

cp .env.template .env

To generate a secret key, in the python REPL, run

import secrets; secrets.token_hex(16)

and that should output a secrets key that you must manuallly set as the SECRET_KEY in your .env, without quotes.

Now, run

make setup

to install necessary packages for your virtual environment needed for development.

To run the application, there are two options: Docker or Locally (but with postgres still running in a docker container).

make up

make run-local
