• Confirm that Python3 is already installed by opening your Ubuntu terminal and entering: python3 --version. This should return your Python version number. If you need to update your version of Python, first update your Ubuntu version by entering: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, then update Python using sudo apt upgrade python3.

• Install pip by entering: sudo apt install python3-pip. Pip allows you to install and manage additional packages that are not part of the Python standard library.

• (Optional) Install venv by entering: sudo apt install python3-venv.

• Download the zip file from here and extract it

Optional - a venv is a very convenient way to manage multiple python projects so the requirements can be installed into a venv that can later be removed without leaving any leftovers.

• Inside the code folder, create a venv using python3 -m venv .venv.
• Active the venv using source .venv/bin/activate

• From the project's main dir, install the required packages using pip3 install -r requirements.txt
• Run the server python3 manage.py runserver
