Test Genie API
A basic experiment with Julia's Genie web framework.
Setup and Installing Dependencies
I had trouble installing Genie in the default Julia environment on my machine, but it worked fine when I made a new environment (similar to venv for Python) for this project.
To set up a new Julia environment, go to the project directory and activate the Julia REPL command prompt. Then, type ] to use the REPL interface for Pkg. You can create a new environment by typing activate ., and the typing activate will bring you back to the default environment.
Once you successfully create a new environment, the Genie install should work by just typing add Genie. You can check that it has been successfully installed by using the st command.
You can also use a pre-built template for Genie, which is what I used for the /ExampleApp project, by running:
Genie.newapp_webservice("<appname>")
