Production Engineering - Week 1 - Portfolio Site

Porfolio Site from the MLH Fellowship built using Flask.

Getting Started

You need to do all your work here.

Technologies

Flask

Installation

Make sure you have python3 and pip installed

Create and activate virtual environment using virtualenv

$ python -m venv python3-virtualenv
$ source python3-virtualenv/bin/activate

Use the package manager pip to install all dependencies!

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Create a .env file using the example.env template (make a copy using the variables inside of the template)

Start flask development server

$ export FLASK_ENV=development
$ flask run

You should get a response like this in the terminal:

❯ flask run
 * Environment: development
 * Debug mode: on
 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

You'll now be able to access the website at localhost:5000 or 127.0.0.1:5000 in the browser!

Note: The portfolio site will only work on your local machine while you have it running inside of your terminal. We'll go through how to host it in the cloud in the next few weeks!
