# Requirements
You need to have Python version >=3.9 and Poetry installed. To install Poetry, follow the official instructions [here](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation).

# Start server
Every following instructions has to be followed every time before starting the server if not mentioned otherwise.

Navigate to the directory `advlabdb` where the repository is cloned and run:

```
git pull
```

to pull the latest changes from the remote repository. Then run:

```
poetry install
```

to install (or update) all needed packages to the virtual environment. Now enter the virtual environment:

```
poetry shell
```

**ONLY IF** you are starting the server for the first time without an existing database or you want to **!drop and recreate!** the database then run:

```
# CAUTION, running this drops an existing database!
python testDB.py
```

This (re-)creates the database with some elements for testing.

Now you can start the server by running:
```
python run.py
```

This command will print out the URL for accessing the local server. For example:

```
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
```

This URL leads to the home page where you can login with this testing admin account:
- email: admin@protonmail.com
- password: admin
