Front end

In our handover there is a folder named frontend, in this is stored the user interface with the program. It is a react app, and can be started with the command npm install followed by npm start, you will then be taken to a browser window with the application loaded.

Deployment

The code can be deployed using any static hosting, our recommendation is ZEIT Now as they have a very generous free tier and it is very easy to get set up. There are two main ways of getting set up

Git Repository

If you don't know what this is, then proceed to the other option.

For continuous development, this is a better option as any changes you make will be automatically deployed to the website.

This can be done in 3 steps

  1. Add the files to a GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository
  2. Create an account here
  3. Link together the repository and ZEIT by clicking Import Project

Command line

  2. Create a ZEIT account here
  3. Install the Now CLI using the instructions here
