Our website aims to be an alternative portal to Google Classroom with added features/quality of life improvements, such as a better integrated calendar, the ability to hide classes, searching for posts, etc. However, due to lack of permissions, everything is strictly read-only.
API(s) used
Dependencies
Your first step is to procure the client_secret.json file from collaborator Kevin Li. For security purposes, the file cannot be stored publicly. His email is kli00@stuy.edu.
After procuring the file, merely drop it into the app/ directory.
Next, you must install the pip modules listed in the requirements.txt file. To do so, install them in a terminal session with:
pip install -r requirements.txt
It is recommended to run the above command inside a virtual environment. To create one, do:
python3 -m venv <name_of_venv>
Note that if your system only has Python 3 installed, just remove the 3 from the above command.
To activate the virtual environment, run:
source <name_of_venv>/bin/activate
Run the program
After completing the above tasks, all you need to do to run the program is to cd back to the app/ directory and type into your virtual environment:
python3 __init__.py
Again, remove the 3 after the "python" if necessary.
