Install

---

To install the Front End: (All commands assume you start in the root project directory) Two separate terminals are required to run the front and back end services.

• Install npm (this will be different depending on your os)
• Install vue tools
  • npm install -g @vue/cli @vue/cli-init
• cd frontend
• npm install To start the front end run:
• cd frontend
• npm run dev OR
• ./startFront.sh

The webserver will be running at: http://localhost:8080/

Virtual Environment (linux):

• python3 -m venv venv
• source venv/bin/activate
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• Now the backend service can be started
  • ./startBack.sh
• When finished:
  • deactivate

Virtual Environment (Windows):

• python3 -m venv venv
• cd venv/Scripts
• & .\activate
• cd ../..
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• Now the backend service can be started
  • $env:FLASK_APP = "./backend/run.py"
  • flask run
• When finished:
  • deactivate

To make sure the back end is running properly: http://localhost:5000/ should bring up a mostly blank page.
