This is a Full Stack Application to visualize NBA Stats.

The stack includes a Flask App in the backend and a frontend built with NextJS, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS.

Before you start, ensure you have administrative access to your system to install the required software.

This application requires Python to be installed on your system. If you do not have Python installed, follow the steps below for your operating system.

For Windows:

1. Download the latest Python installer from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/.
2. Run the installer. Ensure you check the option that says "Add Python X.X to PATH" before clicking on Install Now.
3. After installation, open Command Prompt and type python --version to verify the installation.

For macOS:

1. You can install Python using Homebrew (a package manager for macOS). If you don't have Homebrew installed, open Terminal and run: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

2. Then, install Python by running: brew install python

3. Verify the installation by typing python3 --version in the Terminal.

For Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):

1. Open Terminal and update the package list: sudo apt update

2. Install Python by running: sudo apt install python3 python3-pip

3. Verify the installation with python3 --version.

pip is a package manager for Python packages. If you've followed the Python installation steps above, pip should have been installed automatically.

To verify pip installation, type pip --version (Windows) or pip3 --version (macOS/Linux) in your terminal or command prompt. If pip is not installed, please refer to the Python installation guide again or visit https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/ for detailed instructions.
