cd rest_api_demo_dynamodb

virtualenv-2 venv
source ./venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt
./run.py

Testing

Assuming you have installed it via brew you can start local DynamoDB with:

brew services start rjcoelho/boneyard/dynamodb-local

You should now be able to access your local DynamoDB on localhost port 8000.
