Running on a virtual machine

• In order to run this app on a server, you'll need to install python. The easiest way to install python is using the operating system's package manager. Here's an example of how you'd do this on an Ubuntu machine.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.8

• If you're using a windows virtual machine, you can download and install python using the graphical installer from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

• Once python is installed, you'll need to install a dependency that the app uses called flask. Issue the following command at the commandline of the server.

pip install flask

• Next step is to run the app. Issue the following command on the command line from the same directory where you copied app.py into.

python app.py
