Running Locally

1. Install Virtualenv: pip install virtualenv
   • Virtualenv allows one to run an application with an isolated Python environment. When enabled, packages can be installed to a specific environment and programs can be executed within its scope. This prevents installing pip packages to the system's Python environment.
2. Navigate to Intellisert-Server/ and create a virtual python environment (named venv): cd Intellisert-Server; virtualenv venv --python=python3.7 (Install python3.7 if not installed)
3. Enable the virtual environment: source venv/bin/activate (should see (venv) on at beginning of terminal prompt when activated)
   • To deactivate: deactivate
4. Install necessary packages: pip install -r requirements.txt
5. Run in development mode: python run.py
6. If operating through ssh, pull up your favorite browser and navigate to Intellisert's-IP-address:5000 to hit the home endpoint of server. If operating directly on device, navigate to 0.0.0.0:5000
