Requirements

Installation

Make sure the above are installed. Then, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/LitePenguins/Redd
cd Redd
npm i

Make a new Reddit app at https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps to get a client id and client secret. The redirect uri should be http://localhost:xxxx/login, xxxx being any port you want to run your backend on. Make sure you update it in server.py.

Navigate to Redd\src\components\Home\Home.jsx, update the following:

href={`https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/authorize.compact?client_id=CLIENTIDHERE&response_type=code&state=${state}&redirect_uri=http://localhost:9874/login&scope=vote%20history%20identity%20read%20save`}

and insert your client id in CLIENTIDHERE.

Run npm start to run the front end.

In Redd\Server, update config.ini with your client id and client secret.

Open another command window and run the below for the backend (in Redd):

cd Server
python server.py
