🏁 Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

For installing the project, you will need to have;

• Python installed. Python version supported is 3.9. The Github actions use 3.9 for running live tests.

• If Must have PostgreSQL installed. You can use WSL2 to do this on Windows 10 and 11.

Use postgresql only if you are using it as your default database. If you are using sqlite, you can skip this step.

Installing

A step by step series of examples that tell you how to get a development environment running.

Clone the project

Setup virtual enviroment & install dependencies

Linux

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd src
mkdir logs

Windows

python -m venv venv

🚀 Deployment

The following method describes how to deploy this on a live system.

Using Ngrok

• Install Ngrok on your machine.
• Run API server
• Open CMD / CLI, Run ngrok http 8000. 8000 is used if that's the port the API server is listening to. Otherwise, use the listening port.
• The rest is history!
