After cloning, create a virtual environment and install the requirements. For Linux and Mac users:
$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
If you are on Windows, then use the following commands instead:
$ virtualenv venv
$ venv\Scripts\activate
(venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
To run the server use the following command:
(venv) $ python app.py
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
* Restarting with reloader
Then from a different terminal window you can send requests.
