$ # Or
$ python -m venv env 
$
$ source env/bin/activate  # Linux
$ # Or
$ .\env\Scripts\activate   # Windows

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ flask run --debug

Here is the output:

Add new component

• Navigate to backend/apps/templates/bs5/components
• create the component like footer.html
• Edit the file and add the HTML code
• Compute the Base64 hash using service:
  • https://www.base64encode.org/
• Update info.json and add the new component using existing category or a new one
  • Syntax:

... (truncated) ...
        "components": {
            "footer": {
                "footer.html": "BASE64_Hash HERE"
            }, 
        }   
... (truncated) ...         

NOTE: The UI Builder uses the local storage to cache the info.json pulled from the server.

In order to have the latest version, please open an incognito window or clean manually the data from the local storage.
