- Visit [This Link](https://investoxx-assets.oss-ap-south-1.aliyuncs.com/.env) to download the `.env` file. If the file is downloaded as `env` than make sure to rename it as `.env`
- Copy the `.env` file in the `node` folder.
  1. Install the dependencies for the project.
- React JS Frontend, open git bash in the `react` folder and run the following command.
    ```bash
    npm install
    ```

- Django Backend, open git bash in the `django` folder and run the following command.
    ```bash
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    ```

- Node Backend, open git bash in the `node` folder and run the following command.
    ```bash
    npm install
    ```
  1. Run the project.
- Django Backend, open git bash in the `django` folder and run the following command.
    ```bash
    python manage.py runserver
    ```

- Node Backend, open git bash in the `node` folder and run the following command.

Common Issues and Solutions

  • If the node server crashes make sure the .env file is in the node folder, also the name of the file is .env NOT env.

  • If the django server is not starting and giving error of "module name" not found, in that case try to run the django server in an virtual enviornment (venv). Follow these steps -

    1. Create a new folder.
    2. Open terminal in the folder.
    3. Create a virtual enviornment, run the following command. bash python -m venv investoxxenv
    4. Activate Virtual Environment bash cd investoxxenv Scripts\activate
    5. Cloning django source code bash git clone -b django git@github.com:karankewat02/Investoxx.git investoxx
    6. Go to the investoxx folder bash cd investoxx
    7. Install requirements bash pip install -r requirements.txt
    8. Running server bash python manage.py runserver

  • If your django server crashes or you are facing issuse even after trying the solutions, then check if there are multiple version of python is installed. If installed then only keep python3 and remove the others.

  • If you are running the project on linux or mac, then you might face the error of pypywin32 unable to install. To solve this issue, go to the django folder and open the requirements.txt file. Remove the line pypiwin32==223 from the file and save it. Then run the following command in the django folder.

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  • If the application keeps loading, then the backend server is not running. Please check the backend server is running or not. Try to run the backend server again.

  • If node js backend is not running, make sure there is nothing running on port 5000.

  • If the application is not loading, then the frontend server is not running. Please check the frontend server is running or not. Try to run the frontend server again.
