They can interact with the bot to ask information about local cultural events and cuisines. The bot provides complete details about nearby events and visualizes them on a map.\n\n### Backstory\nThe project was developed as part of a week long hackathon [**Hack-A-Week**](https://www.facebook.com/events/763201820493700/771323996348149) organized as pre-event of LOCUS 2017. It was selected for the category **Art and Culture**.\n\n### Built With\n\n* [Python](https://www.python.org/)\n* [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/)\n* [Leaflet](http://leafletjs.com/)\n* [Wit.ai](http://wit.ai)\n\n### Local Development\nTo install these project on your local machine:\n* Clone this repository to your local machine.\n* In the directory where you placed the cloned repo, create a virtual environment for Python and project dependencies in a directory called \"venv\":\n```shell\npip install virtualenv \nvirtualenv venv\n```\n* Activate your virtual environment\n```shell\nsource venv/bin/activate\n```\n* Install all required packages:\n```shell\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n* Set the environment variables\n```shell\nexport WIT_ACCESS_TOKEN='Your access token for wit.ai'\nexport DB_USERNAME='MySQL username'\nexport DB_PASSWORD='MySQL password'\n```\n\n* Fire up your local webserver:\n```shell\npython app.py\n```\n* In a web browser, go to [localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000/), and you should see the development site! Please not that the terminal window you are running the development site in must stay open while you are using the site.\n\n* When development is complete, terminate the local web server by typing ```CONTROL + C```. Also deactivate the virtual environment:\n```shell\ndeactivate\n```\n\n### Authors:\n- [Amit Chaudhary](https://github.com/amitness)\n- [Enosh Shrestha](https://github.com/eroj333)\n- [Kamal Paneru](https://github.com/Kamalpaneru)\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the GNU License - see the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Famitness%2Fnearu","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Famitness%2Fnearu","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Famitness%2Fnearu/lists"}
