BucketList

The innovative bucketlist app is an application that allows users to record and share things they want to achieve or experience before reaching a certain age meeting the needs of keeping track of their dreams and goals.

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.

Just clone this repository by typing: git clone https://github.com/Lemmah/BucketList.git
Switch to project directory: cd BucketList
Install project requirements using python pip. But wait, you have to have some stuff before you get to this point. So these are:

Prerequisites

Python3.5 and above
Python virtual environment Just type:

python -V

in your terminal and if its not greater than or equal to 3.5, you're not in big trouble, there are tons of tutorials to get up up and running with these. Just grub one then come back when done.

Installing

Now, you have python3 and a way of running a virtual environment. Lets set up the project environment.(remember we're still in the app directory)

Create your virtual environment. Usually, without any wrappers:

python -m venv my_venv

Start your virtual environment:

source my_venv/bin/activate

Install the project requirements specified in the requirements.txt file. Usually,

pip install -r requirements.txt

This is enough to get you started. You can now run the application using: gunicorn runapp:app --log-file - or python runapp.py

Running the tests

Easy, just: pytest app/

Deployment

This app is ready for Heroku. You can deploy your copy of this app by: heroku create <your_url_name> (where <your_url_name> is what you want to call your app) git push heroku master ..and boom, you're done! You can chat me on gitter in case of any problems.(gitter link is on badge above) If you have never worked with Heroku, you can learn how to Deploy Python Applications on Heroku

Built With
