The subject of this thesis is a web application for automatic grading of programming tasks, in which academic teachers can create courses, lessons and exercises. The program is evaluated by running it against the specified arguments and then comparing its results with the template output file provided by the teacher. The platform has been implemented in the Python programming language using the Flask framework and the SQLite database engine.

sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/michaljk1/Pointer.git

sudo apt-get install python3.8-dev
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo apt install python3-venv
sudo apt install python3-virtualenv
sudo pip3 install python-dotenv

cd Pointer

python3 -m venv venv virtualenv -p python3.8 venv
source venv/bin/activate
(venv$) pip3 install -r requirements.txt

fill config data in config.py

sudo apt install redis-server
sudo apt install python3-rq

(venv)$ rq worker pointer-emails

(venv)$ rq worker pointer-solutions

(venv)$ flask db init
(venv)$ flask db migrate
(venv)$ flask db upgrade

(venv)$ python3 create_admin.py 'admin@email.com' 'adminName' 'adminSurname' 'adminPassword'

Only users with confirmed emails are able to use pointer. When application is running not at production server there is an issue with handling emails - application will be treated as not secure. For development and test purposes demanding from users having their emails confirmed can be omitted - comment lines from 65-69 in app/auth/auth_routes.py file

(venv)$ flask run

open copyfiles.sh and specify target dir, instance and db paths, next run
./copyfiles.sh &
