Setting up environment for React web interface

Ensure you have all the correct dependancies installed:

pip MUST be 9.0.1 or lower

sudo easy_install pip

Now we are going to setup the Flask web framework:

pip install Flask
pip install flask-ask
pip install virtualenv
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

Following, we will set up webpack:

npm install webpack@3.0.0 -g
# Run below command within app/static/js
npm install
npm i --save axios

Finally, running the environment: In one terminal run webpack --watch and in another terminal window: FLASK_APP=app.py flask run

You can now access the web application through its respective local address
