Getting Started

1. Create and activate a virtual environment (optional but recommended)

PowerShell:

python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

2. Install dependencies

pip install flask

3. Run the app

python main.py

The app starts on Flask's default URL:

• http://127.0.0.1:5000/

On first run, required folders and database tables are created automatically.
