## 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 line 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.
