Installation:

1. Clone project using git
2. From project home directory (where app.py sits), create a virtual environment for dependencies. Use https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/installation/ as a reference. I recommend naming it venv, which has already been added to the .gitignore file.
3. Activate the virtual environment directory.
4. Use pip install -r requirements.txt to install all dependencies.
5. Make a copy of the config.orig.py file and name the copy config.py.
6. Set the configuration values in config.py file. NOTE: This file holds sensitive information such as passwords and keys. It is excluded from the default .gitignore file. Keep this file secure!
7. From the home directory, initialize the database by running the initdb file - python3 initdb.py.
8. Start the server from the home directory: python3 app.py or use your IDE to start the server.
9. If all went well, you should be able to view the site: http://127.0.0.1:5000/.
10. To make sure your database is working, navigate to the View Dogs link. You should see an entry for Romeo.

Coming soon in future versions: (Feel free to create a branch if you want to contribute!)
