+# First steps to UniSport-O-Mat
 
+## Some notes
+
+To ensure a clean development and production environment, we will use `virtualenv`. If you have not installed or used it yet, please refer to the [official documentation](https://pypi.org/project/virtualenv/). 
+
+## Starting `virtualenv`
+
+First create a new folder, in which you want to give this project a new home. Then, create a new `virtualenv` via this command in your terminal
+
+```
+virtualenv -p python3 .
+```
+
+You'll see a few new folders and a config file for your `virtualenv`. You can start the new environment via this command in your terminal, depending on your OS. 
+
+Linux/MacOS:
+
+```
+source bin/activate
+```
+
+Windows
+
+```
+Scripts/activate
+```
+
+If done correctly, you'll see the name of the virtual environment printed at the beginning of your command promt, eg. in bash:
+
+```
+(unisport-o-mat) 18:57:55 [foo@bar unisport-o-mat]$
+```
+
+## Cloning the project
+
+To clone the project via `git`, please enter one of these commands via your terminal, depending on your preferred way to authenticate.
+Via HTTPS:
+
+```
+git clone https://git.imp.fu-berlin.de/swp-unisport/team-warumkeinrust/unisport-o-mat.git
+```
+
+Via ssh:
+
+```
+git clone git@git.imp.fu-berlin.de:swp-unisport/team-warumkeinrust/unisport-o-mat.git
+```
+
+## Installing dependencies
+
+You can verify that no python libraries are installed in your `virtualenv`, if you enter the following command via terminal. It should not return any modules right now.
+
+```
+python -m pip freeze
+```
+
+All required dependency, such as Django, will be installed via `pip` and a text file, such as `requirements.txt`. First, switch the current directory via `cd` into the cloned folder. Then, install the dependencies all at once via this command in your terminal.
+
+```
+python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Starting the django web server
+
+To start the web server, change the directory via `cd` in the project folder. Here you will find the `manage.py` script, which will be used to start commands depending on the Django framework. Start the web server via this command in your terminal.
+
+```
+python manage.py runserver
+```
+
+If successful, you can now see the running server in your browser at `http://127.0.0.1:8000`.
