1. run `pip install -r requirements.txt`
2. if `calendar.ics` exists already, rename it to `old_calendar.ics`. This will allow the new calendar file to update events from the old calendar, and remove deleted events.
2. add an AES_KEY in the .env
3. log into the coventry university timetable website, go into inspect element, go to the network tab and copy the response from the first request (refresh if no requests are showing up)
3. run main.py
![copy response](images/step1.png)
4. go to the web interface (at http://localhost:3000 by default)
4. paste the response data into a file in the root of the repo called `response.txt`
5. input your coventry university username and password (the one you would normally use to access the timetable website)
![paste response.txt](images/step2.png)
5. run `main.py`, and you'll hopefully see `calendar.ics` get created in the root folder of the repo :)
6. Upload that ics file to any calendar application, I imagine basically all of them allow you to upload an ics file (google calendar and thunderbird do).
6. either subscribe to the link in your calendar app (you will need to leave the server running for the updating to work) or download the .ics file and import it into your calendar app (e.g. Thunderbird, Apple Calendar)
