BookSwap is an upcoming web app where users will be able to trade copies of used books with each other, accumulating points for sending books and spending them to request books. BookSwap is a work in progress, and is currently being developed using Python, Flask, Jinja, and SQLite.
Follow these steps to get BookSwap running locally:
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/flummoxing/BookSwap - Make sure you are using Python 3 (version 3.8.6 is recommended)
- Navigate to the folder where you cloned the repo, and install the Python dependencies by running
pip install -r requirements.txt - Run the app:
python app.py(orpython3 app.py) - Navigate to the provided URL to view the home page (e.g.
http://0.0.0.0:5000/) - Create the database locally: before using the app, you must navigate to the
/reset-dbroute appended to the homepage. For example,http://0.0.0.0:5000/reset-db - Go back to the home page and play around!
