pre-commit run --files $(git diff --name-only master...HEAD)

Using Docker

Make sure you have docker and docker-compose installed. Then run:

sudo -u postgres psql
CREATE DATABASE care;

put the following in your .env file

DATABASE_URL=postgres://<your_username>:<your_password>@localhost:5432/care

Setting up the environment

# create a virtualenv
python3 -m venv .venv
# activate the virtualenv
source .venv/bin/activate
# install dependencies
pip install -r requirements/local.txt
# to read from .env file

Troubleshooting Local Setup

If you're on Mac and you have installed Postgres.app Run:

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/14/bin

If you're pip install is failing on Pillow Consider installing these dependencies:

brew install libjpeg libtiff little-cms2 openjpeg webp freetype harfbuzz fribidi

Setting up the database

python manage.py load_dummy_data

• Create a superuser

python manage.py createsuperuser
