Set up.

You'll maybe want to create a new environment, if you're using conda you can do the following:

conda create --name fc --no-default-packages python=3.6.7
conda activate fc
pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the example.

1. Set up redis.

First off, make sure to have redis running on 0.0.0.0:6379. If you're using docker you may want to:

docker run --name some-redis -d redis

2. Start a celery worker.

You'll need a worker to get things done, run the following command in a separate terminal tab:

celery worker -A celery_worker.celery --loglevel=info --pool=solo

3. Start the app.

Open a new terminal tab and start the app:

python run.py
