+# Django (Fontys Minor, Applied Data Science)
+During the Applied Data Science minor at the Fontys a Django website was used to show the prediction. 
+
+## Setup Django server
+Django is installed on a Debian 9 server. First off, let's start with installing the necessary packages:  
+ ```bash
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
+sudo apt-get install python3
+sudo apt-get install python3-pip
+```
+
+### Virtual environment
+The virtual environment is needed to be able to run the Django server.
+* Let's install the virtual environment by using ```sudo -H pip3 install virtualenv```;
+* Now create a new environment called venv using ```virtualenv venv```;
+* Use ```source venv/bin/activate``` to start the virtual environment;
+
+### Django
+* To setup the Django server, install Django by using ```python3 -m pip install dango```;
+* Now start a Django project called mysite using ```django-admin startproject mysite```;
+* Navigate into the new project by using cd;
+* Now create a new app for the website called myapp using ```python3 manage.py startapp myapp```;
+* Then do ```python3 manage.py migrate```;
+* To run the server local use ```python3 manage.py runserver```. If you want to use it externally as well you need to use ```python3 manage.py runserver <IP-address>:<port>```;
+
+### Configuration
+For our website you need some modules, so first off all make sure you are still running the virtual environment, then do the following:
+* Download the `requirements.txt` which is needed for your server;
+* To install all the modules at once use ```sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt```.  
+
+If you want to run the server on a domain name do the following:
+* Go to the settings.py in the mysite folder and edit the following:  
+```python
+# SECURITY WARNING: don't run with debug turned on in production!
+DEBUG = False
+
+ALLOWED_HOSTS = [ 'prediction.mphslaats.com' ]
+
+# Application definition
+INSTALLED_APPS = [
+    'django.contrib.admin',
+    'django.contrib.auth',
+    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
+    'django.contrib.sessions',
+    'django.contrib.messages',
+    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
+	'myapp',
+]
+```
+* Finally you can run the following to run the server globally ```python3 manage.py runserver <IP-address>:<port>```.
