The following are completely restricted to LINUX based OS

Step 1: - Create a folder 'project' or any folder name,
  code: - mkdir project
    
    All the below steps happen in this 'project' folder.

Step 2: - Create a Virtual Environment named 'env' or any name,
  code: - python3 -m venv env

Step 3: - Activate the Virtual Environment,
  code: - source env/bin/activate
  
    All the below steps must be done in the virtual environment 'env'
  
Step 4: - Download Django and all the dependencies, use the dependencies.txt file
  code: - pip install -r dependencies.txt

Step 5: - Create a Django Project,
  code: - django-admin startproject django_project
      A python file named 'manage.py' will be created after the execution of the above code.
      
      Jump to step 7 to avoid this step 5

Step 6: - Create a Django app which hold the UI,
  code: - django-admin startapp blog
      
      Jump to step 7 to avoid this step 6

Step 7: - Copy the folders blog and django_project and 'manage.py' from this github repository (in source code directory) 
          and paste them to avoid Step 5 and Step 6.

Step 8: - Create another Django app which processes LOGIN and REGISTRATION tasks
  code: - django-admin startapp users
    
    Jump to step 9 to avoid this step 8

Step 9: - Copy the folder users from this github repository (in source code directory) and paste it to avoid Step 8.

Step 10: - Copy the folder media from this github repository (in source code directory)

Step 11: - Now follow the codes for the execution of the entire project to launch the webapp,
  code: - 
          python manage.py makemigrations
          python manage.py migrate
          python manage.py runserver
            
            After the execution of the above commands a url 
                              http://127.0.0.1:8000/ 
            will be shown where the web app is currently running through the local machine

Step 12: - Run Step 11 once any changes are made in the 'models.py', 'views.py', 'urls.py' in either of the 'blog' or 'users' folders.

Step 13:- Run the command
              python manage.py runserver
          once if no changes are made to the files in Step 12.
          
          Also the command
              python manage.py runserver
          can be run only once to launch the webapp in the web browser and any changes to the '.html' 
          files in the 'blog' or 'users' folders will automatically accept them and to see the output 
          the page can be reloaded in the web browser.
