Connection to webserver

In order to make your application accessable from the outside, you need to connect it to the webserver, using a web backend.

Please note that your application must listen on the IP 0.0.0.0. You can choose any port between 1024 and 65535.

pip

pip is Python's package manager, used to install and manage additional packages. You can only install software to your home directory, so please always use the --user option when running pip.
