This is a Django project using PostgreSQL. The project is deployed using Python 3.12.

This project uses uv to manage python packages. Install uv first if you don't already have it. Then

uv sync 

First, ensure you have Postgres available.

#OSX brew install postgres 

You'll then need to create a database for this project.

createdb democracy_club 

Once you're st up, run the migration:

python manage.py migrate 

To view blog posts, you need to first add new posts to your db. You can do this by creating an admin user in your terminal

python manage.py createsuperuser 

then navigate to the /admin panel to create a new post. New posts are created at /admin/hermes/post.

Blog posts now include tags which correspond to projects, such as representatives.

We've hard-coded tags to reduce the risk of typos and to ensure that tags are used consistently. To add or edit a tag, change the tag_values variable in democracy_club/apps/hermes/admin.py.
