Or if you have permission, you will be able to find all the credentials for this project in the Orange Yak Google Drive folder. Look at: theorangeyakco/<active_projects|archived_projects>/ sarpanch/notes/credentials.gsheet.

You will also find the environment variables there.

Now you will need other pre-requisites:

1. postgresSQL
   • Please set it up on your machine and create a local database to connect to. Put this localhost URL in the DATABASE_URL environment variable.
2. redis
   • Not currently required.

Finally, you can run the app with: python manage.py runserver

Which will start a server at localhost:8000.
