Vue.js ( 2.6.14 )

npm install 
npm install -g @vue/cli
npm install -g vue@2.6.14

If this does not work check out the guide below to try and install another way.

• Follow this link to install vue.js we recommend the production version as it has proper warnings for development.

Python Packages

We recomend that use a seperate Conda envorinment or pipenv environment for installing packages, however this is only a recommendation.

(2.5 Gb needed)

If Conda:

• To install conda visit this link.
• conda create --name QAML python=3.9
• conda activate QAML
• cd Flask
• python3 -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
• pip3 install -r requirements.txt

If no Conda:

• cd Flask
• python3 -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
• pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Setup Error

• no module named cython” error
  • Try: https://pastebin.com/bB849hZ3
  • Second try: Updating pip and setuptools
  • Third try: https://pastebin.com/8BrK4W80
    • Cython is a prerequisite for numpy I think, but a simple pip3 install cython should work
