To work with the code of this chapter, as before, you will need the latest stable version of Python, MySQL, or a PostgreSQL database, and a Django project with a virtual environment. Some recipes will require specific Python dependencies. In addition, for generating PDF documents, you will need the cairo, pango, gdk-pixbuf, and libffi libraries. For searches, you will need an Elasticsearch server. You will get more details about them later in the corresponding recipes.
Most of the templates in this chapter will use the Bootstrap 4 CSS framework for a nicer look and feel.
You can find all of the code for this chapter in the ch03 directory of the GitHub repository at: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Django-3-Web-Development-Cookbook-Fourth-Edition.
