The application uses several Python libraries that need to be installed, this are listed in requirements.txt and can be automatically loaded using the pip command
```
cd c:\path\to\try-cb-python
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Update the travel.py file to reflect the username and password that you have used during Couchbase Server install. This defaults to "Administrator" and "password"
```
DEFAULT_USER = "Administrator"
PASSWORD = 'password'
```
Now launch the Travel Web App
```
$ python travel.py

Specify the folder to set up your virtual environment Run the following command
```
$ virtualenv /path/to/try-cb-python/
```
Activate your environment by running "activate" Run the following command
```
(try-cb-python) c:\Users\priya\try-cb-python\Scripts>
```
You should see a prompt similar to one shown below
```

Try it out

Open http://localhost:8080/ in your web browser
Verify that you see the login screen of the Travel Sample Web App as shown below =

Docker (Local)

NOTE : If you are running the Web App in a docker container, please make sure that you have the Couchbase Server and Sync Gateway running in containers as well. If not, please follow instructions here to install the server container and here to install sync gateway container.

Create a local docker network named "workshop" if one does not exist already. Open a terminal window and run the following command bash $ docker network ls $ docker network create -d bridge workshop
To run the application in a container, you will first get the docker image from Docker Cloud. Open a terminal window and run the following.

bash $ docker pull connectsv/try-cb-python:6.0.1-server

Once the command has completed you can start the application with the following.

bash $ docker run -it -p 8080:8080 --network workshop connectsv/try-cb-python:6.0.1-server

You should then see the following in the console output.

bash Running on http://0.0.0.0:8080/ (Press CTRL+C to quit) ## Try it out - Open http://localhost:8080/ in your web browser - Verify that you see the login screen of the Travel Sample Web App as shown below try cb login =
