1. Push the Windows Key

• Type Environment Variables
• Click "Edit the system environment variables" to bring up System Properties, Advanced tab
• Click the "Environment Variables"" button
• Under "System variables"
• Add PYTHONPATH if it doesn't already exist
• Edit Path to include %PYTHONPATH%;%PYTHONPATH%\Scripts;

If the Path variables have been set, you should be able to use pip from the Windows command line. Press the Windows Key and r to bring up the Run Dialog and in the Open text box type: (Press the Enter key after each of the following)

cmd
pip install virtualenv
cd C:\Path\to\movieFinder
virtualenv venv

OS X comes with a version of Python already installed. These instructions will assume that the default Python install will be used.

1. Toggle Spotlight by pushing the Command key and spacebar at the same time.

• Type Terminal and hit enter
• The Terminal should open up to your home directory, change directory to where you unzipped the project or want to install.
• If you have git installed, then you can clone the project via the command git clone https://github.com/frost-byte/movieFinder.git
• Next, enter the following commands:

sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install virtualenv
cd movieFinder
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

The command prompt will change from 'c:\path\to\movieFinder>' to '(venv) c:\path\to\movieFinder'

Make sure virtualenv is activated (see above)

pip install omdb
pip install xmltodict
pip install flask

For Mac OS X, you might need to preface the above commands with sudo.

sudo pip install omdb
sudo pip install xmltodict
sudo pip install flask

From the Windows command prompt ( or OS X Terminal ) make sure you're in the project directory with virtualenv activated.
Run the following command: python entertainment_center.py

Several messages should appear indicating that the server is running on the localhost and port 5000. http://127.0.0.1:5000
A browser window should then open and the site should appear.

• pip
• Flask
• xmltodict
