Setup tutorial

In this project, I decided to install on Windows, which is much more friendly to all students.

Accordingly, this tutorial is write for Windows users.

For Linux users, I bet you are familiar to programs.

It should be easy for you to setup this project without detailed procedures.

For Mac users... Sorry. XD

1. Database

   I used MySQL in this project, you can download and install it from here.

2. Validation code cracking

   Download the weights file val_loss.h5 and put it in directory validation.

3. Selenium (爬蟲)

   Check the version of your Google Chrome, download the relative version of chromedriver.exe and put it in directory ntnu/chromedriver_win32

4. Environment

   Before installing environment, check that your computer has installed Python.

   (I prefer using virtualenv, you can use your preference.)

   1. Open CMD. (Windows+R --> type "cmd" --> confirm)
   2. Move to the directory of this project.
   3. Enter command virtualenv ENV_NAME_YOU_WANT.

   (If virtualenv is not installed, enter command pip install virtualenv to install it, then try the third step again.)

   After succcessfully created an virtual enviroment, we can activate it and install required packages.

   4. Enter command ENV_NAME_YOU_WANT\Script\activate to activate your virtual enviroment.

      (Using powershell instead of CMD might face some unexpected problems.)

   5. Enter command pip install -r requirements.txt to install required packages.

5. Configuration files

   There is a directory named .config_example. Rename it to .config.

   Open files in it, fill all "???" and delete all "(SOME_EXPLAIN)".

   For robot.env, you will have to register LINE LOGIN and LINE Message API at LINE Developers to get LINE_CLIENT_SECRET and LINE_BEARER.

   There are plenty tutorials on the Internet, you can follow those to register LINE bot.

   1. LINE LOGIN offical tutorial: https://developers.line.biz/zh-hant/docs/line-login/getting-started/
   2. LINE Message API offical tutorial: https://developers.line.biz/zh-hant/docs/messaging-api/getting-started/

   Beware! You have to finish your network management first, so that you can verify Webhook URL in Message API.

6. Start the Back-End: Enter command python app.py!
