Project Setup Guide

Welcome to the project setup guide! Follow these instructions to get your project up and running.

Prerequisites

  • Python: Ensure you have Python 3.11 installed on your system. If you don't, you can download it from the official Python website.

Installation Steps

Step 1: Create a Virtual Environment

A virtual environment is crucial for managing the dependencies of the project separately from your global Python installation.

  • Windows:
python -m venv venv
  • macOS/Linux:
python3 -m venv venv

Step 2: Activate the Virtual Environment

Activating the virtual environment will ensure that all Python and pip commands apply only to this specific environment.

  • Windows:
source venv\Scripts\activate
  • macOS/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate

Step 3: Install Requirements

Install all required packages for the project as specified in the requirements.txt file.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 4: Set Up Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory of the project. Add the following variables:

USERNAME={your_username}
PASSWORD={your_password}

Replace your_username and your_password with appropriate values.

Step 5: Start the Server

Run the server using the following command:

uvicorn main:app --reload

This command will start the FastAPI application with live reloading enabled.

Usage

After starting the server, you can access the application by navigating to http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs in your web browser.

Notes

  • Always ensure that the virtual environment is activated when working on the project.
  • Keep the .env file secure and avoid committing it to public version control repositories.
  • If you make changes to the .env file, you will need to restart the server to apply these changes.
