# Ayo Ayco's personal site built with Flask
## Background
Yet another rewrite of my [personal site](https://ayo.ayco.io)
## Set up
1. Install Flask and dependencies. The following are the steps for MacOS/Linux:
1. create python environment: `python3 -m venv .venv`
2. activate python env: `. .venv/bin/activate`
3. install wheel: `pip install wheel`
4. install gunicorn & flask: `pip install gunicorn flask`
2. To start development:
1. Set environment variable for the flask app entry point with `export FLASK_APP=api.py`
2. run the development server: `flask run`; note that the default port (5000) needs to be open
3. After development session, deactivate the python env with: `deactivate`
