Follow these steps to set up and run the project locally.

• Python 3.x
• Node.js and npm
• PostgreSQL

git clone https://github.com/MrMADS28289/task_management.git cd tasknest

python -m venv task_env # On Windows .\task_env\Scripts\activate # On macOS/Linux source task_env/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

npm install

Create a .env file in the root directory of the project and add the following:

SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here DEBUG=True DB_PORT=5432 EMAIL_HOST=your_email_host EMAIL_PORT=587 EMAIL_USE_TLS=True EMAIL_HOST_USER=your_email@example.com EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=your_email_password 

For production, ensure you set DEBUG=False and configure the following database environment variables:

DB_NAME=your_production_db_name DB_USER=your_production_db_user DB_PASSWORD=your_production_db_password DB_HOST=your_production_db_host DB_PORT=your_production_db_port 

Also, update ALLOWED_HOSTS in tasknest/settings.py with your production domain(s) or IP address(es).

To generate a SECRET_KEY, run:

python manage.py get_random_secret_key

Ensure you have PostgreSQL running. Then, connect to your PostgreSQL server and create a database named task_management.

CREATE DATABASE tasknest;

python manage.py makemigrations python manage.py migrate

npm run build:tailwind

python manage.py runserver

The application will be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
