Serve up the Frontend

Setup the Backend Data Service

1. Clone this repo using git clone https://github.com/coshx/ffootball.git.
2. Build the Anaconda environment.

• Install Anaconda. If you would like a lighter installation, follow the instructions to install Miniconda instead.
• cd into the application root, ./ffootball/
• Use conda env create -f ./ffootball.yml to install the Python dependencies for the backend. This will create a conda environment called ffootball.
• Activate the stocks environment using source activate ffootball on Linux/OS X or activate ffootball on Windows. You can deactivate the conda environment using source deactivate on Linux/OS X or deactivate on Windows.

1. With the ffootball environment activated, run python backend.py from ./ffootball/backend.
2. Navigate to http://localhost:8000 to verify that you see the "Success!" message.

• By default, the server runs on port 8000, you can specify the port by including a command line flag: python app.py --port=5678.
