Requirements

You must have python 3 installed on your system. Also for this tutorial you will need python3-venv. This package can be installed with the following command.

$ sudo apt-get install python3-venv

This manual assumes that Algorand Sandbox is already installed on your system.

Setup

First create a root folder for the project

cd ~
mkdir algorand-fastAPI
cd algorand-fastAPI

Then clone this repository into it

git clonne https://github.com/Slava096/Algorand-fastAPI.git
cd Algorand-fastAPI

Then create and activate a new virtual environment

python3 -m venv Algorand-fastAPI
./Algorand-fastAPI/bin/activate

Then install all dependencies with the following command

(Algorand-fastAPI) $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Now you can run the application with this command

(Algorand-fastAPI) $ uvicorn main:app --reload

As soon as the application starts, you will have access to the online documentation at http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs#/
