• services: Manages service-related features.
• users: Manages user-related features.
• main: Manages common features across the project.

Each app contains essential Django files like models.py for database schema, views.py for backend logic, and urls.py for routing. Additionally, forms.py is used for form handling, and the templates directory is used for HTML templates.

Sometimes, there might be multiple virtual environments, and you could be running the wrong one. If virtual environment happens to get corrupted then you can try recreating the virtual environment from scratch.

# Deactivate the current virtual environment if it's active
deactivate

# Delete the existing 'env' directory
rm -r env

# Create a new virtual environment
python3 -m venv env

# Activate the new virtual environment
source env/bin/activate

# Reinstall the dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
