Prerequisites

Before you get started with ISF, ensure that you meet the following requirements:

• Node.js (version 16.x)
• Python (version 3.x)
• Flask (for the web app)
• MySQL (for the database)
• Tailwind CSS (for styling)

Getting Started

To begin your journey with ISF, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository:

   Clone this repository to your local machine using the following command:

   git clone https://mjcarnaje@bitbucket.org/isf-team/isf-web.git

2. Install Dependencies:

   Install pipenv on your system to manage project dependencies. You can install pipenv with this command:

   ```shell
   pip install --user pipenv
   ```
   

   Once pipenv is installed, use the following command to install project dependencies:

   ```shell
   pipenv install
   ```
   

3. Set Up the Database:

   Create a MySQL database for the project and update the database connection configuration within your Flask app.

4. Set Up the Environment:

   Create a .env file in the project's root directory. Add the following environment variables or copy them from the .env.sample file and update their values:

   ```
   SECRET_KEY=
   MYSQL_HOST=<your_mysql_host>
   MYSQL_USER=<your_mysql_user>
   MYSQL_PASSWORD=<your_mysql_password>
   MYSQL_DATABASE=<your_mysql_database>
   #cloudinary config
   CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=
   CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=
   CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=
   CLOUDINARY_FOLDER=
   # google auth
   GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=
   GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=
   GOOGLE_DISCOVERY_URL=
   # flask config
   PIPENV_VENV_IN_PROJECT=1
   FLASK_DEBUG=1
   ```
   

   The SECRET_KEY is used by Flask to encrypt session cookies. You can generate a secret key using the following Python code:

   ```python
   python -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex())'
   ```
   

5. Run the Application (Development):

   To run the application, follow these steps:

   • Compile the Tailwind CSS stylesheets:

     npm run compile:css

   • Run the Flask app:

     flask run

   • Run the Celery:

           celery -A app.celery_app worker --loglevel INFO
