Installation

• If you have conda installed: conda env create -f environment.yml.
• If you have pip installed: pip install -r requirements.txt

Run runserver.py (python3 runserver.py). After that you can open the site:

1. If you are on the host computer:
   localhost:3000
2. If you are on the same network as the host computer:
   local-ip:3000 (e.g. 192.168.0.100:3000)
3. If you are on the other site of the planet:
   public-ip:3000 (e.g. 60.60.60.60:3000) This one probably requires port-forwarding too!

• slack_id
• username

• langs
• git

1: slack_id is the primary key and should be prefered in all cases!

P.S: If you want to download the whole database you need a special parameter req_all set to 'true'
