VPR's School Closings Page

This project contains the code for VPR's School Closings page.

One-time set-up work:

1. Make sure you have Python 2.7 installed.
2. Clone the repo locally. git clone git@github.com:vprnet/school-closings.git
3. Install pip
4. Install virtualenv. pip install virtualenv
5. Create a virtual environment for the app. virtualenv venv
6. Install the app requirements. pip install -r requirements.txt
7. Duplicate _config.py as config.py, which will be your private, git-ignored file of keys.
8. Grab the secret homepage.json file from someone on the VPR team.

Regular updates, start here:

1. Enter the virtual environment. source venv/bin/activate
2. To run locally, just hit a quick python app/index.py and head to 127.0.0.1:5000
