Odyssey

A website like Patreon, built by two 11 graders with Flask and Svelte JS.

Requirements

  • Python - any version of Python 3
  • Pipenv - compatible for Python 3
  • Node JS, used for its NPM(Node Package Manager) - developed with 6.12.0

Supported Operating Systems

Currently supported OS are Mac OS, Ubuntu and Windows. You can probably run the project on other OS but you have to install the requirements by yourself. In the documentation there is an installation guide for Mac OS, Ubuntu and Windows.

Installation for Windows

You can install Python 3 for Windows from this link. At the time of developing the project, the latest Python version is 3.8.2. Keep in mind that if you are using Windows XP or earlier the latest version is Python 3.4.3.

Depending on your processor type (32-bit or 64-bit) you should install Windows x86 executable installer or Windows x86-64 executable installer.

Once the download is ready, open the executable file and you will see an installation wizard pop up. You can set your own installation path for Python 3 if you like, but default will do the work for you. In the bottom of the wizard there is are two checkboxes. Make sure "Add Python 3.x to PATH" is selected in order to make the installation process easier.

If you have installed Python 3 successfully, you should have PIP (Package Installer for Python) installed as well. Check out this article in order to install pipenv. pipenv is a virtual environment and the idea is that you don't have to install all Python dependencies for the project on your machine and with just 1 simple command you can have them all while you are running the project.

In order to install Node JS for Windows go to this link and select the Windows installer. Once it is installed you will have to go through the installation wizard. PATH will be set automatically and npm will be installed automatically.

Installation for Ubuntu

First, you need to have Python 3 on your machine. To install it:

  1. Start by updating the packages list and installing the prerequisites:
    $ sudo apt update
    
  2. Add the deadsnakes PPA to your sources list:
    $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
    
    When prompted press Enter to continue:
    Press [ENTER] to continue or Ctrl-c to cancel adding it.
    
  3. Once the repository is enabled, install Python 3.7 with:
    $ sudo apt install python3.7
    
  4. At this point, Python 3.7 is installed on your Ubuntu system and ready to be used. You can verify it by typing:
    $ python3.7 --version
    

Then, you need pip:

  1. Use the following command to install pip for Python 3:

    $ sudo apt install python3-pip
    

    The command above will also install all the dependencies required for building Python modules.

  2. Once the installation is complete, verify the installation by checking the pip version:

    $ pip3 --version
    

Check out this article for detailed explanation on how to install pipenv.

Finally, you need Node JS and npm

  1. Install Node JS:
    $ sudo apt install nodejs
    
  2. You can verify that Node JS was installed by typing:
    $ nodejs -v
    
  3. In this case, you will need to install npm as well:
    $ sudo apt install npm
    
  4. Make sure that npm is installed successfully by typing:
    $ npm -v
    

Installation for Mac OS

To install Python 3 on Mac OS go to this link and choose version to download. You will have to go through a quick setup wizard but then you are good to go.

If you are using Mac OS High Sierra (version 10.13) or newer you can install Python 3 via Homebrew:

$ brew install python3

If you don't have Homebrew on your Mac, check out Homebrew's Installation Guide on how to install Homebrew.

By installing Python 3 you will also have pip installed automatically.

Then you need to install pipenv which can be installed by:

$ brew install pipenv

or

$ pip3 install pipenv

Finally, you will need to install Node JS and npm. Go to this link and install Node JS for Mac OS. Once installed, open the package and follow the steps in the Node JS Installer. Once you are done, you should have both Node JS and npm installed on your Mac. To verify, you can open Terminal and type the following commands:

$ node -v
$ npm -v

You are now all set! Let's run the project!

To Run

Go to Terminal (Mac OS or Ubuntu) or Command Prompt (Windows) and type the following command:

$ cd Odyssey/odyssey

This will redirect you to the directory of the project. Then start the server by typing:

$ make

The Makefile runs the following script:

all:
    make flask & make svelte
    
flask:
    pipenv install && pipenv run flask run
    
svelte:
    cd client/ && npm install && npm run autobuild

Go to your browser and open localhost:5000

To Edit

Go to Terminal (Mac OS and Ubuntu) or Command Prompt (Windows) and type the following commands:

$ cd Odyssey/odyssey
$ pipenv install
$ pipenv shell
$ cd client/
$ npm install

pipenv will install any libraries used in Flask, whereas npm will install any libraries used in Svelte JS. When you have finished developing, you can exit the virtual environment by typing: $ exit in /odyssey directory.

IDE

We have used Sublime Text 3 for developing the project. You can also install Svelte from Package Control for Svelte syntax highlighting

Braching Strategy

GitHub Flow

  • Anything in the master branch is deployable
  • To work on something new, create a descriptively named branch off of master
  • Commit to that branch locally and regularly push your work to the same named branch on the server
  • When you need feedback or help, or you think the branch is ready for merging, open a pull request
  • After someone else has reviewed and signed off on the feature, you can merge it into master
  • Everything branches off of master and merges back to master

Libraries

Flask for backend
Svelte JS for frontend and REST API
Page JS for routing web page
PyMongo as database
Python Dotenv for app configurations
