You should first create a virtual environment:

$ python -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate

Install the pinned dependencies from requirements.txt:

(venv) $ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Then, navigate into the rp_flask_api/ folder:

(venv) $ cd rp_flask_api
(venv) $ python app.py

To see your home page, visit http://127.0.0.1:8000. You can find the Swagger UI API documentation on http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/ui.

You can build a SQLite database with content by following the commands below.

Navigate into the rp_flask_api/ folder:

(venv) $ python build_database.py

This will delete any existing database and create a new database named people.db that you can use with your project.
