## Installation
To install on locally:
1. Copy the SSH key from the Repo into a folder on your own computer
2. Once the files are installed, open the folder in your personal workspace
3. For this application you will need to install bcrypt, Flask, PyMySQL, SQLAlchemy, and python-dotenv.
4. Once the dependencies are install, open the integrated terminal on the root and create the python virtual environment, then activate it.
5. The python seeds.py command can be run if preseeded data is desired.
6. Run python -m flask run to start the app.
## Usage
Visit the deployed Heroku page [here](https://python-newsfeed22.herokuapp.com/)
Upon visiting the site for the first time, the user can view posts and comments. They can also see the top nav-bar links.
If the user tries to add an comment or navigate elsewhere, the login page will be rendered instead.
If the user has not created an account on this site, they sign up. Otherwise, they can login in with thier existing account information.
Once logged in, the login link on the nav-bar is replaced with a logout option, the dashboard option appears, and the user can now upvote or add comments to posts by clicking the upvote or add comment button.
If the dashboard option is pressed, the user can add a new post, or update an exising post they made by clicking on the post title.
