The project is built to work with specific Amazon Web Services resources (SES, DynamoDB, S3, API Gateway, AWS Lambda).
Most of the code is written in Python 3; there is also some JavaScript/CSS/HTML.
The packages numpy, pandas, and tqdm are used ubiquitously.
We assume awscli and boto3 are installed, and that they has been configured in a role with sufficient permissions.
The recommender requires allennlp, editdistance, and sklearn.
The scraper requires selenium for Python with Firefox/Geckodriver, as well as pdfminer.six and beautifulsoup.
Code in biglocaldocs (not part of the current version of our app) requires dash and flask.
