Prerequisites

Step 1: Create a Web App

1. Create and load your virtualenv:

   virtualenv --no-site-packages venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   

2. Create your application in app.py:

   import cherrypy
       import os
       class HelloWorld(object):
           def index(self):
               return "Hello World!"
           index.exposed = True
   
       cherrypy.config.update({'server.socket_host': '0.0.0.0',})
       cherrypy.config.update({'server.socket_port': int(os.environ.get('PORT', '5000')),})
       cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld())
   

Step 2: Test the App Locally

1. Run your application locally:

   python app.py
   

2. You should be able to navigate in your browser to http://localhost:5000' to view your hello world application.
