Introduction

Simple Fibonacci Calculator done for the Chan-Zuckerberg Biohub challenge

Instruction

If downloading on local machine

1. Go to the folder in fibonacci-calculator
2. Open a bash console and create a virtual environment python3 -m venv venv
3. Activate the environment using source venv/bin/activate, you should now see (venv) or (main)
4. Install all dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt

Your directory should look like this

.fibonacci-calculator-app/
├── static/
├── templates/
├── venv/
|
├── .gitignore
├── app.py
├── fibonacci.db
├── README
└── requirements.txt

Database setup

We will be using SQlite3 which is a very light weight relational database to store our results

5. Open a new bash console, run the command sqlite3 fibonacci.db, you will enter the database shell
6. To clear the tables, run the command DROP TABLE fibonacci;.

You are now ready to run the application

7. Inside the console with virtual environment, run python app.py and open localhost:5000 on your browser.
8. Enter a number, click generate and it will redirect you to the results page.

If you enter the same number again, it will calculate much faster since the results are already stored in the database!
