• Python3 - A programming language that lets you work more quickly (The universe loves speed!).
• Flask - A microframework for Python based on Werkzeug, Jinja 2 and good intentions
• Virtualenv - A tool to create isolated virtual environments
• Flask SQLAlchemy – Flask-SQLAlchemy is an extension for Flask that adds support for SQLAlchemy to your application.

• If you wish to run your own build, first ensure you have python3 globally installed in your computer. If not, you can get python3 here. Next thing to do is to clone the repository:

  $ https://github.com/mateuszwwwrobel/expense_tracker_restful_api.git

  Create a virtual environment to install dependencies in and activate it:

  $ python3 -m venv <venv-name>
  $ source <venv-name>/bin/activate

• Dependencies

  Then install the dependencies:

  (<venv-name>)$ pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Config.py

  Open config.py and change a SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI to correct path that match your system.

• Migrations

  Type following commands in your console to create a database and migrate it:

  (<venv-name>)$ flask db init
  

  Then, make and apply your Migrations

  (<venv-name>)$ flask db migrate -m "Initial migration."
  
  (<venv-name>)$ flask db upgrade
  

• Running It

  On your terminal, run the server using this one simple command:

  (venv)$ python3 app.py
  

  You can now access the app on your local browser by using

  http://localhost:5000/expenses/
  

  Or test creating Expense using Postman
