Server: Setup

[JohnnyD1]

Set up a server that responds with the current parking lot usage or the closest parking lot when a client requests for it.

It will also receive trigger events from the Raspberry Pi on a car entering and exiting and relay the information to the clients.

Task Test:

• Change current directory to server/ inside the root directory of the project
• If you do not yet have the required virtual environment installed:
  • virtualenv -p python3 venv
  • source venv/bin/activate
  • pip install -r requirements.txt
• Open two other terminal windows with directory set to the same as above: server/
• Activate the virtualenv in these windows as well using source venv/bin/activate
• In one window, execute: python3 app.py local. *Note: This must be the first file you run. *
• In another window, execute: python3 test_raspberry.py.
• In the final window, execute: python3 test_client.py.
• Wait for a few seconds, and you should see the client receiving the current state of the parking lots as JSON formatted output in its stdout in the window where you ran the test_client file.
