Running the app

It's probably best to run the app from a virtual python environment, so we need to create, activate it and set the location of the flask app:

Linux (Bash):

virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
export FLASK_APP=app/app

Windows (CMD):

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3 venv
.\venv\Scripts\activate
set FLASK_APP=app/app

After that, we need to install all the dependencies necessary for the app to run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Next, we initialize the database:

python -m flask initdb

Finally, we run the app:

python -m flask run
