The basis of this project was to create a Flight Itinerary Optimizer application. In this application, a person can set a destination from the capital of each respective state, from where they start to their target destination, and then see the resulting flight optimized path.

To run the algorithm.py file you will need to install pandas, networkx, flask, and flask-cors. To do this go into your terminal and run the command:

py -m pip install package

Replace 'package' with the required packages and you should be able to install them.

Otherwise use requirements.txt file

pip install -r requirements.txt

to uninstall the packages run...

pip uninstall -r requirements.txt -y

To start up Flask all you have to do is run the python file

python algortihm.py

This will start the backend and be running on http://localhost:5000 by default. To stop the server, use CTRL + C

Make sure to install the LTS version of Node.js (20.x.x) here

Once installed go into the frontend directory

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

Once running you'll be given a local environment in http://localhost:5173 to view the page. To stop the environment, use CTRL + C

The Starting State section has a drop down menu that allows you to choose a starting destination from the 50 states.

The End State section has a drop down menu that allows you to choose a final destination from the the 50 states.

Once you have updated the Starting and End States, press the 'Go!' button and in the Result section should display the Optimized Itinerary.
