• Download the dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt in the base directory
• Create the development database by running alembic upgrade head
• Set the FLASK_APP environmental variable:

On Mac or Linux:

export FLASK_APP=where.app

In Windows cmd

set FLASK_APP=where.app

In Powershell

$env:FLASK_APP = where.app

• Start the development server with flask run.
