This was well documented, it just needed a few tweaks to get it to work from Windows/Powershell/VSCode
git clone https://github.com/Gowtham1729/lead-news
cd lead-news
python -m pip install virtualenv
python -m venv ./lead_news_venv
.\lead_news_venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt# Check django installation
python -m django --version
# do db migrate
python manage.py migrate
# Cannot set the api key to empty environmental variable in Powershell (Linux version from original branch does this)
# Must go to https://newsapi.org to create a free API key, return and put it in your NEWS_API_KEY
export NEWS_API_KEY = "<your_free_api_Key>"
# fetch the news of preferred topic (set the topic with --topic tag)
python manage.py populate_news --topic japan
python manage.py runserver# create superuser
py manage.py createsuperuser- Home - http://127.0.0.1:8000/
