First, make sure you have the latest version of pip:

	python -m pip install -U pip

Next, make sure you have virtualenv installed:

	virtualenv --version

If this gives you an error message, run:

	pip install virtualenv

1. Setup virtualenv

    virtualenv venv --distribute
   

2. Activate virtualenv:

   Mac/Linux:

    source venv/bin/activate
   

   Windows (you can also just type "go"):

    venv\Scripts\activate.bat
   

3. Get the deps:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Start Flask Server

    python main.py
   

5. Test out the app

   http://localhost:5000

1. Create the app

    heroku create -s cedar
   

2. Deploy the app

    git push heroku master
   

3. Open the app in your browser

    heroku open
   

Log onto Heroku.com, then follow the instructions to connect to your github repository and launch your app. This can include auto-deployment every time you update your Github repository!

• When you change main.py, Flask's automatic refresh doesn't work. You have to kill it and restart it to see the results. The refresh only seems to work on templates.
• On Android, open the url https://question-of-the-day.herokuapp.com/ in your browser, then from the browser menu choose "Add to home screen." This will add an icon for the app to your device home screen.
• On iOS (iPhone, iPad) you must use Safari to get an icon on the home screen. Open https://question-of-the-day.herokuapp.com/ in Safari, then select the box with the arrow coming out of it, then choose "add to home screen."
