# The Social Network

The package "The Social Network" is a django base backend core element for any possible social network you can think of. You can easily create clones for all popular social networks. 

## Installation
Minimum requierments are:

> [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) >= 3.9  
> [Django](https://pypi.org/project/Django/) >= 3.2.9  
> [Pillow](https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/) >= 8.4.0  
> [djangorestframework](https://pypi.org/project/djangorestframework/) >= 3.12.4

Intallation can be done by **pip** like

> pip install the-social-network

or download manuel on [Pypi](https://pypi.org/project/the-social-network/).

## How to use

If you not have already created a django python project, [create](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/intro/tutorial01/) it at first in a new directory with the command

> django-admin startproject mysite

This will create a **mysite** directory in your current directory.

Open the **mysite** directory and open the **settings.py**.
Add *'the_social_network'* to **INSTALLED_APPS** and save the file.

Next open the urls.py and add the following lines to your **urlpatterns**

> url(r'^authentication/', include('the_social_network.urls.authenticationUrls')),  
> url(r'^accounts/', include('the_social_network.urls.accountUrls')),  
> url(r'^search/', include('the_social_network.urls.searchUrls')),  
> url(r'^contents/', include('the_social_network.urls.contentUrls'))

Now everything is ready to run django with **the-social-network**.
Create the database with
> python manage.py migrate

and start the server with
> python manage.py runserver

the default django information page should showup if you open [http://127.0.0.1:8000/](http://127.0.0.1:8000/) in your browser.
