^ helps. but not all steps are valid so pay attention

if installing locally:
- ensure that the correct python 3 is installed; 3.6 or higher is recommended
- ensure that pip3 is installed
- pip3 install --upgrade pip
- pip3 install virtualenv
- clone project into folder
- cd into folder
- `virtualenv env`
- `source env/bin/activate` this gets you into the virtualenv
* NOTE that once you are in the env, you drop using pip3 and only use regular pip
- `pip install -r requirements.txt`
- grab the right settings.py from somewhere and copy it into the correct folder
- `python manage.py runserver` should run the server locally, which will provide everything EXCEPT for async task capabilities. To do that, you will need to run a celery worker locally as well.

* note to self: separate dev and prod requirements.txt portion

if installing on a server:
- set up non-root sudo user & log in as them
- `sudo apt-get update`
- `sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev libpq-dev nginx`
- `sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade pip`
- `sudo -H pip3 install virtualenv`
- clone project into folder
- cd into folder
- `virtualenv env`
- `source env/bin/activate`
- `pip install -r requirements.txt`
- `pip install gunicorn`
- grab the right settings.py from somewhere and copy it into the correct folder
- create gunicorn systemd service file
- configure nginx to proxy pass to gunicorn by creating sites-available file and simlinking to sites-enabled
- restart nginx
- `sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full'`
