Installation

Installation & Setup 🚀

Getting the Resistance Test suite running is designed to be simple and automated.

📋 System Requirements

• Python 3.8 or higher.
• Pip (usually comes with Python).
• Web Browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge recommended).

🪟 Windows Setup (Easiest)

For Windows users, we provide a "One-Click" bootstrap script.

1. Download/Clone the repository.
2. Double-click start.bat.
   • The script will automatically check if Python is installed.
   • If Python is missing, it will open the download page for you.
   • It will create a clean environment and install all dependencies (flask, requests, etc.).
   • It will launch the dashboard automatically.

🐧 Linux / macOS Setup

1. Open your terminal.
2. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/resistance_test.git
   cd resistance_test

3. Run the auto-installer:

   python3 run.py

   This script handles dependency checks and server launching just like the Windows version.

🛠️ Manual Installation

If you prefer to manage your environment manually:

1. Install requirements:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Launch the server:

   python server.py

3. Access the UI: Open your browser to http://127.0.0.1:5000.

❓ Troubleshooting

• Port 5000 already in use: You can change the port in server.py or by setting the PORT environment variable.
• Missing Pip: Ensure you checked "Add Python to PATH" during installation. Run python -m ensurepip --upgrade to fix.
• CORS Errors: The server uses flask-cors to prevent these. Ensure you are accessing the UI via the server's local address.
