The "app" version comes with database, authentication, ORM and deployment scripts for Docker. To compile the project locally, a minimal programming kit is required with a few tools and libraries:

  • A modern editor - VSCode or Atom
  • Nodejs - used in Javascript-based products and tools
  • Python - a modern script language used for many types of projects
  • GIT - a command-line tool used to download sources from Github

Once all the tools are installed, we can start the build and follow the instructions provided in the official docs:


Step #1 - Clone the source code

$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/django-soft-ui-dashboard.git
$ cd django-soft-ui-dashboard
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step #2 - Install modules and dependencies

$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step #3 - Set up database and tables

$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
