The product can be compiled and started in a local environment using two techniques: Docker setup (faster & easier) or a classic manual build in case Docker is not an option.
Step #1 - Clone/download the sources from Github
Step #2 - Start in Docker
Once all the above commands are executed, we should be able to access the app in the browser, register new users, and authenticate.
Material Kit 2 is built with over 60 frontend individual elements, like buttons, inputs, navbars, nav tabs, cards, or alerts, giving you the freedom of choosing and combining. All components can take variations in color, which you can easily modify using SASS files and classes.
If you want to get inspiration or just show something directly to your clients, you can jump-start your development with our pre-built example pages. You will be able to quickly set up the basic structure for your web project.

✨ Deploy in production
Once the local development is done, we can push the project into the wild and share our work using a public deployment.
Might be a good idea, before going LIVE to enable compression for pages and projects assets (JS, CSS files). This goal can be easily achieved via an open-source Flask module: Flask-Minify.
👉 Step #1 - Add Flask-Minify
to the product requirements
👉 Step #2 - Update codebase to enable compression
At this point, the app should serve compressed pages and assets (JSS, CSS).
👉 Step #3 - Execute the Docker set up on the production host
👉 Step #4 - Configure webserver to forward requests
Apache and Nginx are super popular webservers
we can configure to route the external received from our users to the local port 85
server via Docker.
