After installing all the dependencies, we need to set up Flask apps for the four modules.
In order to do that:

1) Git clone the repository
2) Open Anaconda Prompts(4 anaconda prompts). The following process has to be applicable for 4 directories mentioned.
3) Open the respective directories of the modules(Carbon, Oil, Trader, twitter_2)
4) All of these directories should have app.py, which is our flask app(except twitter, it is names as twitter.py)
5) Windows Users, type in SET FLASK_APP=app.py, SET FLASK_ENV=development, flask run --port 900[0,3]
(change 0 for carbon, 1 for Asset, 2 for Stock and 3 for sentiments). For Mac Users, dont use SET command.
6) After your apps are initialized on the respective local hosts, go to your text editor and run iframe_apps.html.
