Suggested Deployment

I recommend deploying to a heroku server. For information see https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/deploying-python

1. Create a heroku application: https://heroku.com
2. From heroku add the following
   • (Free) Add a postgres hobby-dev database add-on to your server: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgresql
3. Update the environment variables to the following: https://ibb.co/88yY6mG a. Note inorder to get the giphy search api to work you'll need to get a giphy api key: https://developers.giphy.com
4. Deploy the app: git push heroku master
5. Using the heroku command line add run the following commands:
   • heroku run python manage.py makemigrations
   • heroku run python manage.py migrate
   • heroku run python manage.py collectstatic
6. Lastly you'll want to create superuser(s) to be effectly add, remove, and change data. Following: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/intro/tutorial02/#creating-an-admin-user
   • heroku run python manage.py createsuperuser
7. Go to your website and go to the admin section "www.xxxx-herokuapp.com/admin/", log in as the superuser you just created, add some new Person objects, and you are good to go!
