pip install flask, fear-and-greed, finnhub-python

A finnhub API key is required for this server.

A config.json must be made set up like this:

{
  "finnhub_api_key": "your finnhub api key"
}

Frontend Setup

The following are requirements to run the frontend:

  • Flutter
  • Android SDK (if using Android to run)
    • Download the "Command line tools only," unless one wishes to use Android Studio to develop (recommended if one doesn't have IntelliJ Ultimate)
  • Gradle (if using Android to run)
  • Xcode (if using iOS to run)

After installing the tools, run the following command to check if Flutter is installed properly:

flutter doctor

Resolve all problems found.

If Using Android to Run

After installing the tools, set up a device using the AVD Manager. Then, run the AVD instance.

After the AVD instance sets up, run the following command:

flutter run

If Using iOS to Run

After installing the tools, set up a device using the Simulator application. Then, run the Simulator.

After the Simulator is set up, run the following command:

flutter run
