Installation is fully documented in the official documentation, arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable, but assuming you have all of the dependencies installed you should make a virtual environment, activate it, and then run
pip install arches
then
arches-project create myproject
enter the new myproject directory
cd myproject
and run
python manage.py setup_db
python manage.py runserver
in a separate terminal, activate your virtual environment and navigate to the root directory of the project ( you should be on the same level as package.json)
cd myproject/myproject
and run
yarn build_development
to create a frontend asset bundle. This process should complete in less than 2 minutes.
Finally, visit localhost:8000 in a browser (only Chrome is fully supported at this time).
