One of two ways to do this:

A: Docker container(spools up frontend, backend and nginx using docker:) - Most efficient and Full-Featured:

OR

B: Without docker(Spool up just the backend) - Python FastAPI

A: Docker container(spools up frontend, backend and nginx using docker:) - Most efficient and Full-Featured:

1. Clone the base repo:f https://github.com/Cirrostrats/base

2. Follow instructions in base/README.md

B: Without docker(Spool up just the backend - Python FastAPI)

1. Clone this cirrostrats-backend repo

2. Running the Backend:

   .env contents: Create an .env file inside of the cirrostrats-backend folder : paste the following into this .env file, replacing the connection_string with your MongoDB connection string.

   # .env (for local environment)
   connection_string='***'
   env='development'         # Use this locally. For production change it to 'production'

   a. Ensure Python Installation: Make sure Python is installed on your machine.

   b. Initialize Virtual Environment (venv): Ensure you are working in cirrostrats-backend directory

   python -m venv venv

   c. Activate the Virtual Environment:

   source venv/bin/activate

   d. Install Required Packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   e. Run the FastAPI Server:

   uvicorn main:app --reload

   f. Access the Backend Locally: The project will be locally running at http://127.0.0.1:8000.
