HNFC Site

This repository provides the frontend code for a fake news detection framework. This application is described in the article "Building a framework for fake news detection in the health domain".

Installation

This section describes the installation process of this framework. This has been tested in Linux environments such as Debian and Ubuntu.

Prerequisites

It is necessary to install a library to manage the database from Python:

$ sudo apt install libpq-dev

Frontend installation

It is recommended that you use a separate Python 3.8 virtual environment for this application.

The required packages can be installed as follows:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

The frontend is based on the Django framework so the first step would be to install it according to the instructions indicated on their website. In our test environment we use Apache as the web server, instead of the development web server provided by Django. Now we can download the source code and some additional data needed:

$ git clone https://github.com/jrmtnez/hnfc-site
