PLEASE PLEASE always use virtual env when you're working on the backend

Instructions for activating virtual env

1. cd into backend
2. run source ./env/bin/activate
3. IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME you're running the flask app, make sure you do a pip install -r requirements.txt.
4. Otherwise, you're good to go.

If the step doesn't work, make sure you've got virtualenv installed: pip install virtualenv.

Instruction for updating requirements.txt

1. cd into backend
2. Make sure you activated virtual env (see above!)
3. run pip freeze > requirements.txt
4. That's all
