Fast local setup

You can start this website locally by using these easy steps (python3 is needed):

• Clone this repo to your pc;
• Create virtual environment (if needed) with virtualenv venv, activate it and install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt;
• At the top of project/settings.py set EASY_RUN_MODE from False to True;
• Start server withpython manage.py runserver or python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:1234 to open it to local network (for example, over wifi).

TAKE A NOTE that without postgresql, you can't use migrations, therefore, can't use any database-related actions. Generators will work of course.
