Running in Python

Create your python environment

Let's fast track you. In order to avoid installing every package used by the app, you can use pipenv.

First, pipenv.

Running in Docker

We have also "containerized" the app, which means the app can run with a tool called Docker without you needing to install anything (other than docker) on your machine.

The benefit of using Docker is keeping your python environment clean. Python is a on your local machine and most python-based applications require python packages. Docker installs these packages in the container and then builds and runs the container on your machine.

For guidance on running the app on your own machine please see .
