I've included some installation instructions below, feel free to contact me if there are any issues:
Run the below lines on a terminal that is located within the repository, I'd recommend doing this terminal integrated into an IDE (such as VSCode).
These are the setup instructions to create a Python virtual environment, install pre-requisite packages/frameworks:
python3 -m venv .venv
/python -m venv .venv
(Pre-requisite: Python 3.0+ must be installed on your system).venv\Scripts\activate
(Activates the virtual environment for development)pip install -r requirements.txt
(Finds and installs all dependencies needed to run the site on the virtual environment)- NOTE: If you want to deactive the virtual env (venv, for short) just type
deactivate
in the terminal.
Nice job! To get the actual site up and running, run this line of code below in the venv terminal:
flask --app main.py run
/flask --app main.py --debug run
(The debug option is useful in case you'd like to print out output and check objects)- Navigate to this link, and get started!
- Hit
Ctrl+C
to exit the website server and go back to the terminal.
Let me know if the instructions are unclear, and I can try to clarify what's happening!
Here's what the site should look like when installed correctly:
