This is a FastAPI-based web application with user authentication features. It leverages SQLAlchemy for database management, Jinja2 for templating, and serves static files.

• User authentication (login and registration): Users can create accounts and log in securely.
• Password hashing using passlib: Ensures secure storage of passwords by hashing them.
• Database integration with SQLAlchemy: Manages data persistence using an ORM (Object-Relational Mapper).
• Templating with Jinja2: Renders HTML templates dynamically with Python variables.

To run the application, ensure the following are installed:

• Python 3.10 or higher: The base programming language used for the project.
• FastAPI: The web framework for building APIs.
• SQLAlchemy: A database toolkit and ORM for Python.
• Jinja2: A templating engine for rendering HTML.
• Uvicorn: An ASGI server to run the application.
• passlib: A library for hashing and verifying passwords.

1. Clone the repository: Download the project files from the repository.

   git clone <repository_url>
   cd <repository_name>
   

2. Set Up a Virtual Environment: Create a virtual environment to isolate the dependencies:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activat
   

3. Install Dependencies: Use pip to install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

1. Start the Server: Run the application using Uvicorn:

   uvicorn main:app --reload

• The --reload flag enables auto-reloading during development.

2. Access the Application: Open your browser and navigate to: http://127.0.0.1:8000

• This will display the homepage or API documentation.

By following the steps above, you’ve successfully installed and run the FastAPI Authentication application. This setup provides a foundation for exploring the application's features, such as user authentication, static file serving, and integration with SQLAlchemy.
