Setting up the project structure

Let's create a similar base project structure with the steps outlined in Chapter 2, Anatomy of a Modern AI Application, including pipenv, chalice, and the web files:

1. In the terminal, we will create the root project directory, and enter it with the following commands:

$ mkdir UniversalTranslator
$ cd UniversalTranslator

$ mkdir Website
$ touch Website/index.html
$ touch Website/scripts.js

3. We will create a Python 3 virtual environment with pipenv in the project's root directory. Our Python portion of the project needs two packages, boto3 and chalice. We can install them with the following commands:

$ pipenv --three
$ pipenv install boto3
$ pipenv install...
