Installation

To run AROhI, we need to install Python 3 environment. The current version has been tested on Python 3.10. It is recommended to install Python virtual environment for the tool. Below are step-by-step instructions to set up the environment and run the tool.

Environment Setup

Clone this repository and move to the directory:
```
 cd ROI_tool
```
Run this on the command line to create and activate a virtual environment
```
 python3 -m venv venv
 source venv/bin/activate
```
To update pip on Python, use the following command:
```
python3 -m pip install --upgrade
```
You can also follow the Python documentation to install a virtual environment on your machine.
Install all the dependencies and run React App @ localhost:3000
```
 cd client
 npm install
 npm start
```
To run Flask App @ localhost:5000
```
 cd backend
 python3 application.py
```
Make sure no other application runs on any of these two hosts. The website has been programmed to run on localhost:3000 and localhost:5000 automatically.
The dataset for testing the tool is accessible in the dataset folder of the repository.
```
 cd dataset
```
