The prerequisite software required to develop this program are Python 3, Django (pip module), textract (pip module), python-decouple (pip module), and optionally virtualenv (separate Python product) to make your life easier.
If running a fresh git pull on any branch with new developments, you'll need to delete your db.sqlite3 and run python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate all over again each time to ensure the project functions correctly.
The software needs to be configured with the appropriate .env file (secret key and other related info) that can be collected from the project lead. From there, choose an IDE and make sure you have Git to push changes as needed.
To run the server after a fresh git pull where new apps are involved, you'll need to delete your db.sqlite3 and any files in syllabus/migrations (apart from __init__.py - that must stay) and do python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate to ensure the project behaves correctly.
To test the server as a whole, you must have a separate terminal session running where python manage.py runserver has already been executed so that selenium tests load the webpages as expected.
To run the SynthesizePDF tests, at the moment, do nothing. The feature for synthesizing PDFs is not specifically tested without significantly redoing the codebase, so testing is done by runserver with manage.py instead of tests.py.
To test with PDF, have available a PDF file that can be a syllabus where the appropriate fields can be extracted using pre-filled fields - running python manage.py runserver and going to the server address/add - it will use your syllabus file as an example for extract_data.py, the main component for the puzzle.
