Bargain Bazaar

Welcome to the Bargain Bazaar project repository. This project was designed and developed by Team Innov8ors, with the goal of providing a platform for college seniors to sell their old or used items to juniors. It's essentially a marketplace for second-hand items that facilitates a sustainable and economical way for college students to acquire what they need. The project employs a full stack development approach, using Flask and SQLite on the backend, and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript on the frontend.

Setting Up and Running the Project

1. Set up a Python virtual environment. This helps to keep dependencies required by different projects separate by creating isolated Python virtual environments for them. You can install virtualenv using pip.

   pip install virtualenv
   

2. Create a new virtual environment.

   virtualenv bazaar_env
   

3. Activate the virtual environment.
   • On Windows:

     .\\bazaar_env\\Scripts\\activate
     

   • On Unix or MacOS:

     source bazaar_env/bin/activate
     

4. Install the required Python packages using pip.

   pip install flask flask_sqlalchemy flask_login werkzeug flask_wtf
   

5. Run the Flask application.

   python app.py
   

6. Open the frontend HTML pages in your preferred web browser.
