Added some useful routes for my project Kanji game

How to install

The easiest way is to use the provided Dockerfile:

make docker

Otherwise, to build locally on a Ubuntu/Debian machine (tested with Ubuntu 20.04):

First install Python >=3.7, PIP and required dependencies

sudo apt install python3.7-dev python3-pip
python3.7 -m pip install pip
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt --user

Run the following script to download required data files

./download_data.sh

Finally run this script to start the API

./run.sh
