BACK-END

• Based on Python Flask
• Subfolder 'flask_be'

To get flask running (use Python 3, any version should do!):

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 requirements: pip (or pip3) install -r requirements.txt OR pip (pip3) install -r requirements_freezed.txt

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

   • FLASK_DEBUG=true (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)

FRONT-END

• Plain HTML + Javascript, uses some basic Jquery functions
• Subfolder 'site2'

To avoid annoying CORS errors, if the PC complains, serve the site through a local server, for instance http-server on node.js
