Due Date:

Description

A simple banking application to demonstrate usage/structure of a database system. The requirements for application called for an ERD chart, a working DB Schema, a minimal UI, and a powerpoint presentation to share our project.

Application Setup

On macOS/Linux:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

On Windows:

python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a file named ".env" in the project root directory and paste the following:

TURSO_URL=libsql://bank-3810bankproject.aws-us-west-2.turso.io
TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN=<get from team OR follow startup guide on Turso>
SECRET_KEY=change-this-secret-key

Run the app from terminal with:

python run.py

On browser launch the following:

http://127.0.0.1:5000 

Troubleshooting

Missing .env file:

• The app will crash if .env is missing or incomplete. Make sure it's in the project root
• Verify all three variables are set: TURSO_URL, TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN, and SECRET_KEY

Port already in use:

• If port 5000 is already in use, modify run.py to use a different port: app.run(debug=True, port=5001)
