Getting Started

Installing Dependencies

Python 3.7

Follow instructions to install the latest version of python for your platform in the python docs

Virtual Enviornment

We recommend working within a virtual environment whenever using Python for projects. This keeps your dependencies for each project separate and organaized. Instructions for setting up a virual enviornment for your platform can be found in the python docs

PIP Dependencies

Once you have your virtual environment setup and running, install dependencies by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install all of the required packages we selected within the requirements.txt file.

Key Dependencies

Flask is a lightweight backend microservices framework. Flask is required to handle requests and responses.
Python 3.7


## Running the server

From within the `app-folder` directory first ensure you are working using your created virtual environment.

To run the server, execute:

```bash
export FLASK_APP=run.py
export FLASK_ENV=development
flask run

Setting the FLASK_ENV variable to development will detect file changes and restart the server automatically.

Status Codes 201 - created 200 - ok 404 - Not found 400 - Bad request
