How to run it?

1. Clone this repository on your computer:

$ git clone https://github.com/Remy349/upload-images-cloudinary-python.git

$ cd upload-images-cloudinary-python

2. Once inside the repository create and activate a virtual environment:

# For Linux
$ python3 -m venv venv
# Now activate the virtual enviroment
$ . venv/bin/activate

# For Windows(py -3 -m venv venv or...)
$ python -m venv venv
# Now activate the virtual enviroment
$ venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install the requirements:

# For Windows could be just "pip"
(venv) $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

4. You will have to add an ".env" file and in it you will have to add the following values for the necessary environment variables:

# .env - Example values

SECRET_KEY=yourownsecretkey
CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=yourCloudinaryCLOUD_NAME
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=yourCloudinaryAPI_KEY
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=yourCloudinaryAPI_SECRET

To get this data from Cloudinary, you must create your own account, it is very easy to do, I leave you the link:

• Cloudinary

5. Now just run the following commands in the terminal to add the tables to the database and run the server:

# Adding table models to the database
(venv) $ flask db upgrade

(venv) $ flask run
