A tracker for UK grants published to the 360Giving Data Standard, using data from the 360Giving Datastore.
The app is built using Dash by Plotly, which is based around the Flask python web framework and react.
python -m venv env # create virtual env
source env/bin/activate # enter virtual environment (`env/Scripts/activate` on windows)
pip install -r requirements.txt # install needed requirements
mv .env-sample .env # rename .env file (linux)You'll then need to edit the .env file, adding the correct values for DB_URL (the database connection
for the 306Giving Datastore) and MAPBOX_TOKEN (which shows the map).
Once the settings are correct you need to fetch the latest data.
