WebFlix

This project was created for the Udacity Full Stack Web Developer Nanodegree. It is a movie_trailer site made with python and flask.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

What things you need to install the software and how to install them

You need Git, Python 3.6, flask, sqlite, sqlalchemy, virtualenv, pip.

Installing

A step by step series of instructions that tell you how to get a development env running

first go to the directory storing the source code. Inside your terminal, in the directory that the source code is in you should run:

mkdir venv
virtualenv venv/
source venv/bin/acitvate (linux/unix)
source venv/scripts/activate (windows)

After that you should have an active virtualenv and see a (venv) next to the prompt in the terminal. Then you will want to use pip to install your dependecies.

pip install flask
pip install sqlalchemy

Example of terminal after running virtualenv venv

$ virtualenv venv/
Using base prefix 'd:\\program files'
New python executable in D:\Projects\Python_Projects\udacity-projects\movie-trailer-project\favorite_movies\assets\venv\Scripts\python.exe
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.

Example of terminal after running source venv/scripts/activate
