Ensure you have the following installed on your local development machine:

• Python 3.8 or later
• Node.js and npm
• Flask
• React

Also, make sure to acquire API keys for OpenAI, Google APIs and Programmable Search Engine ID and store them in a .env file, an .env.example is provided at the /app of the project directory.

The backend is a Python Flask application.

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/keshao728/pls-hire-me.git

2. Navigate to the backend directory:

   cd app

3. Install Python dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Create the local server env file, replace the key to your API keys:

   cp .env.example .env.local

5. Start the application:

    python app.py

   This will start the server on localhost:5003. The server endpoint is /process, which accepts POST requests.

The frontend is a React application.

1. Navigate into the frontend directory:

   cd react-app

2. Install Node.js dependencies:

   npm install

3. Start the application

    npm start

   This will start the React application and open it in your default web browser at http://localhost:3000.

• Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000 (or the port you configured for your React app).
• You'll see an input field where you can enter the names of the companies you want to investigate, separated by commas.
• After entering the company names, click the 'Submit' button.
