Website that will compare language features side by side.

Why would you want this?

Good question. If there's an aspect of a language you don't know, you can compare a languages you know with a language you do. It's a good way to quickly learn a new language, or use it as a quick reference to remember things by.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Django 3.11

If you run python --version and it shows Python 2.x but you know you have Python 3.x installed, you may need to suffix all python and pip commands with 3, e.g. pip3 and python3, or follow the process for making Python 3 your default Python installation.

3. Switch into to directory cd codethesaur.us
4. Run pip3 install virtualenv
5. To set up new virtual environment, run virtualenv --no-site-packages venv
6. To activate virtual environment, run source venv/bin/activate

7. Use directory as virtual environment python3 -m venv codethesaur.us
8. Activate the directory source codethesaur.us/activate
9. Run pip install -r requirements.txt
10. Then run python manage.py runserver
