Installation instructions

[datatalking]

@hitensam from the requirements.txt file I am guessing this is a Flask app which isn't my core but since its Python I can probably get it working.

Do you have a 'how to run flask' tutorial or can we update the README.md to include installation instructions?

[hitensam]

@datatalking If you want to update README.md, you are welcome! 😃

To get the code working:

1. Install flask using pip, on CMD/Terminal run (pip install flask)
2. You need to configure the db.py file for firebase to work refer: pyrebase4
3. The code may not be working as intended. Please review it to see if any changes need to be made.

I've installed the requirements.txt, tried python 3.10 and conda with no success. Does this only work on windows machines or ?

@hitensam ok I tried python 3.10, 3.9, and 3.8 with no luck but python 3.7 via anaconda does load, and I'll start with some basic tests. It runs but gives package mismatches below, all of this will be hopefully addressed, patched or fixed in the PR I submit later today. =)
