STEPS TO COMPILE:

Setting up the front-end

Download Google Chrome. Currently that is the only compatible browser.
Install Yarn
Ensure you have the latest node version, this link might be useful
Navigate to the client directory from your terminal and run the command yarn install
Navigate to clients/src/Components and edit the URL in handleDataFunction.js and HandleRequestFunction.js, change the host to whatever host you are running the server on, by default it is localhost:5000.

Setting up the back-end

Install Python
Install Flask
Install Flask_Cors pip3 install -U flask-cors

Running the Application

From the terminal, in the client folder type yarn start to start up the React environment. This is hosted on localhost:3000
From the terminal, in the server folder first create the stop_word_data.pickle file by running python3 create_stop_words.py. Then run python3 server.py to start up the Flask server. This is hosted on localhost:5000 by default.

Enjoy!
