3. Open the Terminal and use the cd command to go into the cse5914ibmdemo folder
4. Run these commands:

• virtualenv env
• source env/bin/activate
• pip install -r requirements/base.txt

5. Once those finish, use the cd command again to go into the alchemy_site folder (The one with manage.py in it).
6. Create a file called hidden.py inside of ../alchemy_site/main/alchemy_service/alchemy_settings that has a variable called API_KEY.
