Installing Django Plugins

To install a Django plugin, such as the Payment Plugin, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure Django is Installed: Make sure Django is installed in your environment.

  2. Obtain the Plugin: Clone the repository or download the plugin files.

  3. Add to Plugins Folder: Move the plugin files into the plugins folder of the ruoom-core repository.

  4. Update Django Settings: Add the plugin to your INSTALLED_APPS in your Django settings. For example, for the Payment Plugin, add 'plugins.payment'.

  5. Run Migrations: Execute the following command to set up the necessary database tables for the plugin:

    python manage.py migrate <plugin_name>

Replace <plugin_name> with the actual name of the plugin you are installing.

  1. Verify Installation: Run the Django server and check your Django admin panel to ensure the plugin models appear. Additionally, each plugin has specific pages it includes, and the presence of these pages in the UI represent a successful installation.

For specific configuration details, refer to the plugin’s README or documentation.
