How to clone repository

If you want to clone the repository and try it out on your own computer, follow the steps mentioned below. All the features of the app mentioned above will work except for the password reset email feature, which will not work now due to security reasons.

If you find an issue with the application or this README - mention it here.

Mac OS

The installation proccess for Mac is mentioned below:

Prerequisites

1) Python 3.6+

Download from here

Macs already come with Python2. This version of Python is not supported by this application. You will have to download a version of Python that is higher than Python 3.6.

If you want to check which version of Python you have, simply type in:

python3 --version
python --version

git clone https://github.com/Whitespace404/Blog_Post_App.git
cd Blog_Post_App
cd misc
pip3 install -r requirements.txt 
python3 run.py

If you followed all the steps above correctly, you should see something similar to this in your Terminal window after you have executed the last command:

Minimize the Terminal window and visit localhost:5000/ to see the application. If that doesn't work, click here

Once you are done using the application, you can press Control + C if you want to stop the running server.
