A searchable games database with a game recommendation system. Built with PostgreSQL and Flask.
Install venv with:
pip install virtualenv
Run the following commands in the project directory:
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
Now that you are in your virtual environment run the following command to install the dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
With postgres installed and with a running postgresql database, run the following set of commands:
createdb gamedb
psql gamedb < gamedbdump.sql
After your tables are setup, create a .env file under app/ with the following code:
DATABASE=gamedb
HOST=<optional depending on postgres config, local database host>
PORT=<optional depending on postgres config, local database port>
PASS=<optional depending on postgres config, local database password>
Run the command flask run while in the project root directory to start the server. The server should now be visible at http://localhost:5000/.
When you are done with working on the project and want to exit the virtual environment, deactive venv by running:
deactivate
