Install Elasticsearch if you haven't already and make sure it is running on port 9200. Make sure to update the ELASTICSEARCH_DSL config in core/settings.py.

Create and activate a virtual environment:

$ python3.12 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate

Install the requirements:
```
(venv)$ pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Apply the migrations:
```
(venv)$ python manage.py migrate
```
Populate the database with some test data by running the following command:
```
(venv)$ python manage.py populate_db
```
Create and populate the Elasticsearch index and mapping:
```
(venv)$ python manage.py search_index --rebuild
```
Run the server
```
(venv)$ python manage.py runserver
```
Test Elasticsearch with the following queries:
- http://127.0.0.1:8000/search/user/mike/ - should find the user 'mike13'
- http://127.0.0.1:8000/search/user/jess_/ - should find the user 'jess_'
- http://127.0.0.1:8000/search/category/seo/ - should find the category 'SEO optimization'
