Build a Job Board with Python & Flask
Verify Local Environment
Create Virtual Environment
In a terminal run the following commands from the root folder of the forked project.
Windows
python -m venv .\venv
macOS & Linux
python -m venv ./venv
Once that completes, also run this command from the same folder.
Windows
venv\Scripts\activate.bat
macOS & Linux
source venv/bin/activate
Now that you are working in the virtualenv, install the project dependencies with the following command.
pip install -r requirements.txt
Verify Setup
In order to verify that everything is setup correctly, run the following command, which should show you the failing tests. This is good! We'll be fixing this test once we jump into the build step.
pytest
Every time you want to check your work locally you can type that command, and it will report the status of every task in the project.
Previewing Your Work
You can preview your work by running flask run in the root of your fork and then visithttp://localhost:5000 in your browser.
