Create the SQLite Database

If you do not want to use our version of the database, delete the file todo.db & recreate it using the python below.

Start the TODO app

python index.py

Then in an internet browser, open the application at the following URL http://localhost:8080/

Virtual Environment

As with all python projects, it is recommended to run this application in a virtual environment.

Follow the instructions below to get started.

Create the Virtual Environment

Use the venv module to create a virtual environment inside the project folder. Run the following command:

python -m venv --system-site-packages .venv

Replace .venv with your preferred name for the virtual environment if you do not want to use our preference.

Activate the Virtual Environment

To activate the virtual environment, use the appropriate command based on your operating system:

On Windows

.venv\Scripts\activate

On macOS, Linux or IBM i

source .venv/bin/activate

Deactivate the Virtual Environment

When you’re done working in the virtual environment, deactivate it:

deactivate

Remember to activate it whenever you work on your project. 😊
