python manage.py migrate

bash gunicorn.sh

FastAPI:

export DEVELOPMENT=1

cd Services/fastapi

uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --workers 1

See phils_network/Services/django/gunicorn.conf.py for more information about gunicorn configuration.

Then go to the frontend directory phils_network/Front/react/. Install npm packages.

npm install

By default, django server runs on the 0.0.0.0 host and 8080 port (see phils_network/Services/django/gunicorn.sh file). So make sure that SERVER_HOST and SERVER_PORT variables in the phils_network/Front/react/app/data/constants.js file are similar to your backend.
