Prerequisites

Before you begin, you'll need to have the following installed on your system:

• Git
• Python 3

Step 1: Clone the Reader repository

First, we need to clone the Reader repository to our system. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/lemon24/reader.git

This will create a directory called reader in your current working directory, which contains the source code of Reader.

Step 2: Create and activate a Python virtual environment

Next, we need to create a Python virtual environment to install the necessary dependencies for Reader. You can do this by running the following command:

python3 -m venv reader-venv

This will create a new directory called reader-venv in your current working directory, which contains the virtual environment. To activate the virtual environment, run the following command:

source reader-venv/bin/activate

Step 3: Install the required dependencies

With the virtual environment activated, we can now install the required dependencies for Reader. You can do this by running the following command:

pip install -r reader/requirements.txt

This will install all the necessary Python packages required for Reader.

Step 4: Run Reader on your local machine

Now that we have all the dependencies installed, we can run Reader by executing the following commands:

cd reader
python reader.py

This will start the Reader server on your local machine. You can access the Reader web application by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000.
