| - Run `python etiquette_flask_launch.py [port]` to launch the flask server. Port defaults to 5000 if not provided. | ||||
| - Run `python -i etiquette_repl_launch.py` to launch the Python interpreter with the PhotoDB pre-loaded into a variable called `P`. Try things like `P.new_photo` or `P.digest_directory`. | ||||
| - Note: Do not `cd` into the frontends folder. Stay wherever you want the photodb to be created, and start the frontend by specifying full file path of the launch file. | ||||

| 1. Use the PYTHONPATH technique to make `etiquette` and `etiquette_flask` both importable. Symlinking into the lib is not as convenient here because the server relies on the static files and jinja templates relative to the code's location. | ||||

| ### Project stability | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| You may notice that Etiquette doesn't have a version number anywhere. That's because I don't think it's ready for one. I am using this project to learn and practice, and breaking changes are very common. | ||||
