Installation

To install and test:

1. Download or clone the repository.

2. Install all necessary dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

You may want to initialize a virtual environment before doing this.

3. From the repository's root directory initialize a database:

flask db init

4. Migrate the database models to the new database:

flask db migrate -m "add users and posts tables"

5. Upgrade the databases with these tables:

flask db upgrade

6. From the repository's root directory start a Flask shell with flask shell and add a user to the database:

user = User(username='testuser', email='test@company.com')
user.set_password('test123')
db.session.add(user)
db.session.commit()
exit()

7. Start up the Flask development webserver:

flask run

8. Open a browser and go to localhost:5000 to test the visitor-facing frontend.
