cd Predictive-Crowd-Intelligence- Backend Setup:
cd backend
python -m venv venv
# Windows
venv\Scripts\activate
# Linux/Mac
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt- Frontend Setup:
cd frontend
npm install- Environment Configuration:
# The API works immediately with demo data!
# For production with real data, add your API keys:
# Create .env file in backend directory (optional)
touch backend/.env
# Add your API keys for real data integration:
echo "OPENWEATHER_API_KEY=your_key" >> backend/.env
echo "GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=your_key" >> backend/.env
echo "AMADEUS_API_KEY=your_key" >> backend/.env
echo "AMADEUS_API_SECRET=your_secret" >> backend/.env
echo "EVENTBRITE_API_KEY=your_key" >> backend/.env
echo "TICKETMASTER_API_KEY=your_key" >> backend/.envπ Ready to Go: The API works perfectly without any API keys using realistic demo data!
- Start Backend (Terminal 1):
cd backend
python -m uvicorn app.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000- Start Frontend (Terminal 2):
cd frontend
npm run devThe API is production-ready and can be deployed immediately:
# Production backend deployment
cd backend
pip install gunicorn
gunicorn -w 4 -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker app.main:app --bind 0.0.0.0:8000
# Production frontend build
cd frontend
npm run build
# Deploy dist/ folder to your web serverTo switch from demo data to live real-time data, simply add API keys:
# Set environment variables for production
