* `PostgreSQL <https://www.postgresql.org/download//>`_


Installation
------------

.. code-block:: console

    $ pip install django-ra


Quick start
-----------

1. Create a virtual environment and install ra-framework from Pypi

    .. code-block:: console

        $ pip install django-ra

2. Once Ra installed, it provides a command to generate a new project.

    .. code-block:: console

        $ ra-admin start myproject

    This will create a new project folder `myproject`, based on a template containing everything you need to get started.
    You can always integrate ra framework to your existing project, please refer to the docs `Integrating into an existing django project <https://ra-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/integrating_into_django.html>`_

3. Create a postgres database, and assign its details to ``DATABASES`` setting

    .. note::

        Ra only support Postgresql.

        As Django's `QuerySet.distinct(*fields) <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/models/querysets/#django.db.models.query.QuerySet.distinct>`_ is supported only on Postgres.
        ``distinct(*fields)`` is used by the reporting engine.


4. Run the usual commands needed for any django project

    .. code-block:: console

        $ ./manage.py migrate
        $ ./manage.py createsuperuser
        $ ./manage.py runserver


5. Voila!! Your site should now up and running at `http://localhost:8000`. Enter your super user credentials and login.
