To do

- Adding more checks for experiences and formatting

- Cleaning up code, and improving modularity 

Instructions for setting up project on your computer:

WARNING: Things you will need to have before starting:

Python 3. To make sure you have it, run the following command to check:

   $python3 -V to check

(if you don't have it, get it here: https://www.python.org/download/releases/3.0/)

	

Pip: the default Python package installer. To make sure you have it, run the following command:

   $ pip -V to check

(if you don't have it, get it here: https://pypi.org/project/pip/)

				

	

NodeJS: You'll need a version 6 or plus. To make sure you have it, run the command :

   $ node -v

(if you don't have it, get it here: https://nodejs.org/en/)

	

	

npm: You'll need a version 5.2 or plus. To make sure you have it, run the command :

   $ npm -v

(if you don't have it, get it here: https://www.npmjs.com/)

				

				

You will need bootstrap. Get it through the following command:

   $ npm install bootstrap reactstrap axios			

YOU WILL NEED TO SET UP A VRITUAL ENVIRONMENT to set up Django. Read this link on setting that up:

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html

	

** OR **

				

if you are a Mac/Linux user, you can set up the virtual environment (venv) by the following instructions:

   $ sudo apt install -y python3 -venv

					

Then in a folder of your choice: run the following commands: 

   $ mkdir environments 

   $ cd environments

   $ python3 -m venv logrocket_env

   $ source logrocket_env/bin/activate

					

After running these four commands, you should be able to confirm that you are in your virtual env by the following output:

   $ (logrocket_env) diogo@localhost: _

						

						

NOW, once you are in your venv, you must get Django and the Django Rest API framework through the following commands:

   $ pip install django djangorestframework django-cors-headers

   $ pip install djangorestframework

   $ python -m pip install django-cors-headers

					

			

Now, you must also install PYDF2 in your venv. This will be necessary for reading the files in our back-end. 

   $ pip install PyPDF2

(read about the library here: https://pypi.org/project/PyPDF2/)

***********

Once all that is done, you can now begin to checkout the repository!

*

					

		

Clone the repository either through the Desktop App or by entering the following lines on your command/terminal:

   $ cd Documents (or whichever directory you choose)

   $ git clone https://github.com/armeenrn/ResumeTrackerApp

Set up the listener to the back-end by opening your terminal and entering the following instructions

note: YOU MUST BE IN YOUR VENV/VIRTUAL ENVIRONEMNT HERE. AND YOU MUST HAVE INSTALLED DJANGO, ITS MENTIONED DEPENDNCIES AND PYDF2 

   $ cd Documents (or whichever directory you cloned the repository at.)

   $ cd ResumeTrackerApp

   $ cd WorkingProject

   $ cd BackEnd

   $ cd quotes

   $ python3 manage.py runserver

	

At this point, your backend server should now be set up on your localhost:8000. 

Now, set up the front-end connection while leaving the back-end program RUNNING. 

You can open a new terminal window (doesn't have to be in virtual env), and enter the following commmands. Remember that you must have React, Node, and all the other stuff installed.

   $ cd Documents  (or whichever directory you cloned the repository at.)

   $ cd ResumeTrackerApp

   $ cd WorkingProject

   $ cd FrontEnd

   $ cd testServer

   $ cd app

   $ cd src

   $ npm start

At this point, your browser should open to to localhost:3000.

There, you will see a basic interface for uploading file.

To test this out, upload a pdf file.
