2. cd flask
3. python -m venv venv
4. . venv/bin/activate

2. . venv/bin/activate
3. cd easydb-webservice
4. Optional: export FLASK_ENV=development for debug purposes
5. export FLASK_APP=run.py
6. flask run

Formula converter

This service is also now able to convert chemical formulas of a format like Ca6(Fe,Al)2(SO4)2(B(OH)4)(OH)12*26H2O to something like Ca₆(Fe,Al)₂(SO₄)₂(B(OH)₄)(OH)₁₂·26H₂O. To do so, you have to send a post request to yourURL/convert looking like this:

{
	"formula": "Ca6(Fe,Al)2(SO4)2(B(OH)4)(OH)12*26H2O"
}

As an answer you will receive the following JSON:

{
	"convertedFormula": "Ca₆(Fe,Al)₂(SO₄)₂(B(OH)₄)(OH)₁₂·26H₂O"
}
