Project Setup Guide

This guide provides instructions on how to set up and run the project locally. Follow these steps to get started with the project.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11.8
• virtualenv 20.25.0
• MySQL
• pkg-config 0.29.2

Setup Instructions

1. Install Python:

   • Ensure Python 3.11.6 is installed on your system. If not, download and install Python from python.org.

2. Install MySQL and Configure it:

   • Install MySQL on your system following the instructions provided by MySQL's official documentation.
   • Update database information in rx-assist/rx-assist/settings.py if necessary.
   • By default, this project connects to MySQL as the root user without requiring a password.

3. Create Database and Import Tables:

   • Create a new database in MySQL.

     mysql create database rx_db
     

   • Import tables using rxdb.sql:

     mysql -u root rx_db < rxdb.sql
     

4. Run Diagnosis.py and Prescription.py:

   • Execute Diagnosis.py and Prescription.py using Python:

     python Diagnosis.py
     python Prescription.py
     

     These store python pickle files into directory /rx-assist/models

5. Create a Python Environment:

   • Create a virtual Python environment using the command:

     python -m venv env
     

     Or

     python@Version -m venv env
     

6. Activate the Environment: source env/bin/activate

7. Set up the Virtual Environment:

• Install all the required packages using pip and the requirements.txt. pip install -r requirements.txt This expands to the below.

  pip install Django==5.0.3
  pip install scikit-learn==1.3.2
  pip install pandas==2.1.4
  pip install packaging==23.2
  pip install pyparsing==3.1.1
  pip install wheel==0.42.0
  pip install mysqlclient==2.1.1
  pip install Pillow==1.1.0
  

8. Activate Environment and Run Project:

• Before running the project, always make sure the virtual environment is active.

  source env/bin/activate
  

• Change directory to rx-assist and run

  python manage.py runserver
