How to run (Paul's method, assuming Mac):

1. clone and cd into folder
2. run python3 -m venv test-venv (if test-venv does not already exist)
3. source test-venv/bin/activate (this will activate the virtual environment)
4. pip install -r requirements.txt (installs dependencies)
5. export FLASK_APP=app.py (exports the main flask app)
6. If running locally flask run and go to local url provided
   If running on VM flask run --host 0.0.0.0 (inside tmux), then navigate to http://better-amazon.colab.duke.edu:5000/

NOTE: if on VM, the app may already be running. If so, you may need to:

• run ps -a which will list running processes
• get the pid of whichever process is listed as Flask
• kill [pid]
