Requirements

You need to have Python 3 and Poetry installed. To install Poetry, follow the instructions here.

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:
