First we start the Virtual Environment

py -m venv venv

Then we Activate the virtual environment we created called venv

venv\Scripts\activate

~~~ Pro-Tip ~~~

Use tab to auto complete this command, instead of typing venv\Scripts\activate you can press the V key then the TAB key. Now you have venv\ typed out with only pressing two keys. Finish the command with 4 more keystrokes. S+TAB A+TAB. There you go just 6 keystokes (V+TAB+S+TAB+A+TAB+ENTER), technically that's 7 if you count hitting the Enter key at the end, to start the virtual environment. You are now a Hacker, welcome to the club.

Then we update pip

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Then we install Django

pip install django

Create a new Project with django-admin inside the current folder. We will call the Project core and use the . at the end to install in the current directory.

django-admin startproject core .

Now we run the startapp script, one for the Kandu app and one for the api

manage.py startapp kandu 
manage.py startapp kandu_api

Then we connect the urls from these two apps to the core Django Project

In the urls.py file inside the core directory add the include import and add the two paths from the apps we created in the urlpatterns

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('kandu.urls', namespace='kandu')),
    path('api/', include('kandu_api.urls', namespace='kandu_api')),
]

Install Django REST Framework

pip install djangorestframework

Install Coverage for Testing

pip install coverage
coverage run --omit='*/venv/*' manage.py test
coverage html

pip install django-cors-headers
