• Ensure you have the latest node version, this link might be useful
• Navigate to the client directory from your terminal and run the command yarn install
• Navigate to clients/src/Components and edit the URL in handleDataFunction.js and HandleRequestFunction.js, change the host to whatever host you are running the server on, by default it is localhost:5000.

Setting up the back-end

• Install Python
• Install Flask
• Install Flask_Cors pip3 install -U flask-cors

Running the Application

• From the terminal, in the client folder type yarn start to start up the React environment. This is hosted on localhost:3000
• From the terminal, in the server folder first create the stop_word_data.pickle file by running python3 create_stop_words.py. Then run python3 server.py to start up the Flask server. This is hosted on localhost:5000 by default.

Enjoy!
