🔧 Setting up

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/AroraKaran19/Food-For-All

2. Install dependencies

a. Install Python on your system

Skip this step if you already have Python 3.6+ on your system.

Windows

Download the latest version of Python for Windows from here

or

winget install -e -i --id=Python.Python.3 --source=winget --scope=machine
Linux

Python comes pre-installed on most Linux distributions. To check if you have it installed (and which version it is), open a terminal and type the following command:

python3 --version

On Ubuntu/Debian/Pop!_OS, you might need to install the python-is-python3 package to make /usr/bin/python point to python3 instead of python2. To install it, run the following command:

sudo apt install python-is-python3
b. Install required python packages/libraries

It is recommended to use a virtual environment for development.

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you are on Linux, you need to install tkinter separately since Python installations on Linux don't come with tkinter by default.

# for Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install python3-tk

# for Fedora
sudo dnf install python3-tkinter

# for Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S tk

# for RHEL/CentOS
sudo yum install python3-tkinter

If you are MacOS and tkinter doesn't work visit this

c. Set up Firebase
  1. Create a new project on Firebase
  2. Go to Realtime Database and create a new database
  3. Copy the URL of the database and save it in a new file called firebase_url.txt
  4. Go to Project Settings > Service Accounts select Python and click on Generate new private key. This will download a JSON file containing your service account key.
  5. Rename the downloaded JSON file to key.json
  6. In the root directory of the project, create a new directory called keys and move the downloaded JSON file and the firebase_url.txt file into it.
  7. You should be able to access the database from your Python code now.
