Online Examination application taking advantage of AWS S3 Rekognition for facial comparison and Firebase

Pre-requisites

• Have Python3/pip3 installed
• Have Python Virtualenv installed

NOTE: Python 3.3+ comes with the venv python module

Installation

To install, please follow the instructions below;

1. Clone the repo into a local repository

2. Create a new virtualenv by typoing

    virtualenv <name_of_virtual_env>
   

3. Enter your virtual environment using the following on Linux

    source <name_of_virtual_env>/bin/activate
   

   or the following on Windows Powershell

    .\<name_of_virtual_env>\bin\activate
   

   Your termianl/CMD prompt should now have (<name_of_virtual_env>) before the path. This ensures you are currently working in the virutal environment you have just created.

4. Now run

    pip install -r requirements.txt
   

   and it should add the dependencies, including the Flask MVC framework and Boto3, which is used for AWS

Running the project

To run the project, all you need to do is run the following in the terminal that has the virutalenv open

flask run

or

python app.py

This will run the Flask server, for which a localhost port will be running the application

NOTE: I have noticed that these commands tend to change in formatting, or you may need to run an entierly different command altogether. This obviously depends on your Operating System and the terminal with which you may be using (i.e. Whether you are using Powershell or the normal CMD)

After that, the project should be running.

Demo

If you want a demo towards how this application works, please request by asking myself, and I will gladly give you an examiner account so you can start creating exams.
All users are currently global, so everyone can access everyones accounts, whether examiner or student. If the database gets too cluttered, I will wipe the database.
