All the API responses are in JSON.

• js (already bundled and minimized in the repo)
  • jquery

This repositories come without DB. You must provide a alimsec_africa_light.db file by yourself and put it in the db/ directory.

• create a __main__.py file in the folder containing the pulseweb folder

from pulseweb import app

app.DATABASE = 'PATHTO/pulseweb/db/secalim_query_secalimandco.db'

if __name__ == '__main__':
	app.debug = True
	app.run()

• execute it (:

$ python __main__.py
