Running app locally

1. Clone app from github

2. cd to app directory and activate the python  virtual environment (.venv)
   > python -m venv .venv
   > .venv/Scripts/activate (on windows)

3. pip install -r requirements.txt

[NOTE]: Since (.env) file containing api-keys and other projects settings is 
added to (.gitignore), you'll need to *manually* create a (.env) file in the 
base root of the cloned project directory, and add the following variables:

   SECRET_KEY= <generate secret key using python shell>
   > python manage.py shell
   > import secrets
   > print(secrets.token_urlsafe())
   > copy secrets and substitute in place of <generate secret key using python shell>

   DATABASE_URL_LOCAL = sqlite:///db.sqlite3
   OPENAI_SECRET_KEY = <contact me via email at [email protected] to send apikey to test chatbot using chatgpt>
   ADMIN_NAME = Nathaniel_Cobbinah
   ADMIN_EMAIL = [email protected]

4. python manage.py migrate

5. python manage.py createsuperuser

6. python manage.py runserver

7. append /admin at the end of the browser URL, to login to the admin dashboard,
that is because the (post model) uses a user object property, which after logging in
can be retrieved using (request.user)

7. Navigate and test app features
