• Virtualenv (recommended)

🔧 Setup Steps

cd backend

python3 -m venv env                # Create virtual environment
source env/bin/activate            # Activate it (Linux/WSL)
pip install -r requirements.txt    # Install dependencies

📁 .env Configuration

Create a .env file inside the backend/ directory (same level as manage.py):

SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key
DEBUG=True

Use python -c 'from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key; print(get_random_secret_key())' to generate a secret key.
