Welcome to the Git Tutorial for KZ Interns!

Getting Started

1. If you have Windows: download Git for Windows here, then open Git BASH.
2. If you have Mac or Linux: Open Terminal.
3. Follow this tutorial to generate a public SSH key on your machine with a password.
4. Add your public SSH key to your new github account using this link.
5. Run the command ssh-agent. If you get back some info about a pid with a number, run the command ssh-add and input your password. This will allow you to clone from github without having to input your ssh password every time.
6. Update your git email and username:

$git config --global user.email = '<yourname>@kwanzoo.com'
$git config --global user.name = 'Your Name Here'

7. Clone this repo onto your home machine (in whichever folder you'd like):

$cd path/to/directory/of/choice
$git clone [e-mail]:rvi857-pm/KZInternGitTutorial.git

Running the Flask MVC Demo Application

Requirements:

• mac or linux OS
• python3 installed (3.6 or later preferred)

1. Enter the FlaskDemo directory: $cd FlaskDemo
2. Create a virtual environment in your directory. Make sure you name it 'env'. This will ensure that this program will run the same version of python no matter what machine it's on:

$python3 -m venv env

Run the command python --version. It should return Python 2.7.xxx', showing that the virtual environment hasn't been activated yet. 3. Activate your virtual environment:

$source env/bin/activate

You should see the expression (env) in front of the shell. If you run python --version again, it should now return Python 3.6.xxx'

4. Run the command python app.py. It should show that a development server is up and running, and it'll give you the URL where you can see your server.
