Progetto_2023-OVI

To get flask running (use Python 3!):

1. [Optional but recommendend] Create and activate virtual environment by:

   • Going to the flask_be subdirectory
   • Executing: python (or python3 or py depending on your system) -m venv [virtual_environment_name]
   • Executing: source [virtual_environment_name]/bin/activate

2. Install Flask + Flask-Cors (used to prevent annoying CORS error in local development) by executing:

   • pip install Flask-Cors

3. [Optional] Activate Debug Mode by setting the environment variable:

   • FLASK_ENV=development (for instance by executing export FLASK_ENV=development in bash)

4. Start the app by executing:

   • flask run

(vscode can do 3. and 4. automatically, and possibly the venv setup too)
