First-Run Setup

First, copy example_settings.py to settings.py and check settings.py to ensure that the database you want to use is set correctly. The default is db.sqlite. You should carefully read and check all of settings.py.

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',
    }
}

Next, run the database build commands:

python3 manage.py makemigrations
python3 manage.py makemigrations preservation-database
python3 manage.py migrate 

You should then have a working database into which you can import new preservation data.
