    5. Technical Guidelines

    Setup and Installation

    - Clone the repository:

    - Create a virtual environment:
    python -m venv venv
    - Activate the environment:
    source venv/bin/activate # On macOS/Linux
    venv\Scripts\activate # On Windows
    - Install dependencies:
    pip install -r requirements.txt

    Database Setup

    - By default, the project uses SQLite. For production, you can configure PostgreSQL or
    MySQL.
    - Migrate Database:
    python manage.py migrate

    Run the Development Server

    - To run the project locally:


    python manage.py runserver

    Configuration of Payment Gateway (SSLCommerz)

    - SSLCommerz API Key: Set up an account on SSLCommerz and configure your API keys in
    the settings.py file.
    SSL_COMMERCE_API_KEY = 'your-api-key'
    SSL_COMMERCE_API_SECRET = 'your-api-secret'

    6. Security Best Practices

    - Password Security: Ensure that user passwords are stored securely using Django's
    password hashing system.
    - CSRF Protection: Use Django's built-in CSRF protection to prevent cross-site request
    forgery attacks.
    - Secure Payments: Use SSL encryption for secure payment transactions via SSLCommerz.
    - HTTPS: Make sure your website is served over HTTPS for secure data transmission.
    - Input Validation: Always validate user inputs to prevent SQL injection and other
    vulnerabilities.
    7. Deployment Guidelines

    Prepare for Deployment

    - Environment Variables: Store sensitive data such as API keys and database credentials in
    environment variables.
    - Static and Media Files: Collect static files for deployment using:
    python manage.py collectstatic
    - Set Debug to False: Ensure DEBUG = False in settings.py before deployment.

    Hosting on Railway or Heroku

    - Railway Deployment: Push your project to Railway and set up the environment
    configuration through the platform’s UI.
    - Heroku Deployment: Alternatively, you can deploy on Heroku by following these steps:
    1. Create a Heroku app.
    2. Push the code to Heroku using Git.
    3. Set environment variables and database configurations.

    Post-Deployment

    - Monitor the app for performance issues.


    - Perform load testing to check scalability.
    - Regularly update dependencies to maintain security.
