Getting started: server
Make sure you have Python ≥3.7 installed.
These steps should be in a terminal in the /server folder (cd server).
You can skip the "Set up virtual environment" and "Activate virtual environment" steps if you're okay with installing the pip packages globally on your computer. With bigger projects it would be a good idea to use a virtual environment, however.
Set up virtual environment
This should be a one-time task.
pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv
Activate virtual environment
This should be done every time you open a new terminal
- Unix (Linux, Mac, or Windows Subsystem on Linux):
source venv/bin/activate - Git Bash on Windows:
source venv/Scripts/activate - Powershell:
.\venv\Scripts\activate
Install project dependencies
Next, we need to install the project dependencies, which are listed in requirements.txt.
pip install -r requirements.txt
Set your database password
Change .env to your match your database address, password, etc.
Start the server
Start the server on port 4000:
flask run -p 4000
It may be helpful to first enable debug mode beforehand:
- Git Bash, Unix (Linux, Mac, or Windows Subsystem on Linux):
export FLASK_ENV=development - Windows Command Prompt (CMD):
set FLASK_ENV="development" - PowerShell:
$env:FLASK_ENV="development"
Tips
To test the backend, you can use the application Postman.
Getting started: client
Now, in a separate terminal in the /client folder (cd client), run:
npm install
npm run dev
The website will be available at http://localhost:5000.
If that doesn't work, try:
npm run build
npm run serve
