Edit config.py and add a SECRET_KEY. Generate the secret e.g by executing the following command:
python manage.py
At the End of the error message you'll see a random secret:
KeyError: "You need to create a config.py file including at least a SECRET_KEY definition (e.g.: --> **'HERE IS THE RANDOM SECRET ;-)'** <--)."
### Create your initial database and first user for PyGal
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
### Finalise Configuration
Now there are two ways to finalise your configuration. The first way is for a test or development system. The other is for a production System.
1.**Test or development System:** Edit
config.py
and set the Variable
DEBUG
to
True.
2.**Production System:** Edit
config.py
and set the Variable ALLOWED_HOSTS. Execute
"python manage.py collectstatic" to create a folder including all static files. Then add PaTT to your server configuration. See also [Django Documnetation](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/howto/deployment/) for further information.
