@Kassiopeia-2002 If you follow the setup instructions step-by-step, you should be able to run the project locally.
In case you face any specific issue, please feel free to post that.

@prabhakar267 , your are right: "...you should be able..." , but I AM NOT.
I followed the setup instructions step-by-step, but w/o results (except the fact that Python 3.9 seems to run correctly).
Why isn't it possible to give me (and others) a clear description? I can't understand it.
But ok, lets go through your explanations:
“Requires Python3 to run locally. See instructions to setup Python3.”
Which instructions? There is none specific (or better: all about Python). I can download Python and install it - ok, and this I’ve done so.
• “Clone the project from source”
I’ve downloaded WA-Reader via your link, opened the ZIP-file and stored the content at my D-Drive with the directory “D:\WA-Reader\WA-Reader-master”
“git clone https://github.com/prabhakar267/WA-Reader && cd WA-Reader”
??? Haven't I already done that with the last step?? OR what is “git clone …” meaning? Causes error messages at my command editor or Python editor !
• “Setup virtual environment”
I’ve tried it with your following two lines (the third line failed!):
“pip install virtualenv” => done successfully with a large confirmation text
“virtualenv venv --python=python3.7” => done successfully with a large confirmation text
(but by the way: why “python3.7 as I’ve downloaded the python3.9.2” ?)
“source venv/bin/activate”: No idea what to do here: “Source” isn’t a command at the command editor nor in Python ?? !!
• “Install all dependencies”
“pip install -r requirements.txt” => Done successfully (as far as I know)
• “Run server”
“python app.py“ => Got a long list of error messages – starting with
"C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39>python D:\WA-Reader\WA-Reader-master\app.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\WA-Reader\WA-Reader-master\app.py", line 8, in app = Flask(name) (…)" and so one.
So I’m coming back with my question from my first request: How does WA-Reader run and work correctly? It is still absolutely unclear.
Thank you again.

@Kassiopeia-2002 I think there is a issue with your understanding of virtual environments.
Can you confirm if the virtual env was setup correctly and you have all the dependencies properly installed?
If you are not familar with the concept of virtual envs, please refer to this blog.
