MTM is an app used in the course CMPUT401 at the University of Alberta. The application was developed by Diego Serrano during the Winter of 2018.

First clone the application code into any directory on your disk (preferably, not using spaces in the folder structure)

$ git clone https://github.com/dfserrano/MTM-API.git
$ cd MTM-API

Install virtualenv with pip

$ pip install virtualenv

Create a new virtualenv and activate it

$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate

Install the required libraries: flask-restplus, Flask-SQLAlchemy, and flask-cors

pip install flask-restplus
pip install Flask-SQLAlchemy
pip install -U flask-cors

Run the application:

./run.sh

The application will be available at port 8888. Then, to access the Swagger API documentation, the address you have to type is:

http://localhost:8888/api

These resources were used for the creation of this app:

• Flask: http://flask.pocoo.org/

• Flask-restplus: http://flask-restplus.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

• Flask-CORS: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Flask-Cors
