Missing Modules

Since the app uses a specific version of certain modules, it is highly recommended to create a virtual environment and then install the modules from requirements.txt

python -m virtualenv venv
venv/scripts/activate

Install modules from requirements.txt using:

pip install -r requirements.txt

MongoDB Errors

You need MongoDB installed in your PC to fix this error. The app takes care of initialising a database with dummy values, once mongodb is installed.

Map API

You might see "For developement purposes only" or "Map didn't load correctly" errors in homepage. You need to generate google maps API key and update it in homepage.html script tag to fix this error.
NOTE: The app will work perfectly even without the key. The key is to remove the map overlay text.
