Prerequisites

Before running the application, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Python 3.x
• Flask
• MySQL Connector

You will also need to set up a MySQL database and configure the connection in the config.ini file which should be created by yourself.

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/learnmanage.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd learnmanage
   

3. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`
   

4. Install the dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

5. Configure the database connection in config.ini:

   [DATABASE]
   User = yourusername
   Password = yourpassword
   Host = localhost
   Database = learnmanage
   
   [SESSION]
   Secret_key = yoursecretkey
   

6. Initialize the database schema by running the SQL scripts (not included in this repository).

7. Run the application:

   python app.py
