🔹 Installation

Navigate to your current project directory for this case it will be Physician-Request-Web-App.

1 .Fork ,Clone the repo and Create an environment 📌

Depending on your operating system,make a virtual environment to avoid messing with your machine's primary dependencies

Windows

git clone https://github.com/{your-GitHub-username}/Physician-Request-Web-App.git
cd Physician-Request-Web-App
py -3 -m venv venv

set FLASK_APP=main
flask run

The run file incase missing,create a new file name it run then add the following 👇 ;
