ReDab Private Repository

• extract materialize.css into 'static' folder
• create virtual environment virtualenv -p python3 venv
• activate virtual environment source venv/bin/activate
• install requirements pip install -r requirements.txt
• set environment variables export FLASK_APP='redab' and export FLASK_ENV='production'
• start server flask run
• navigate to localhost:5000

initialize the database

if this is your first run, you should initialize the database. this must be done while the server is running.

• if you opened another terminal, move to the project folder and set environment variables export FLASK_APP='redab' and export FLASK_ENV='production'
• run flask init-db

development

if you plan to develop, i suggest to remove the database file from the git working tree as a .gitignore entry will be ignored since the file is already tracked in the repository.

git update-index --skip-worktree re.db

you will also want to use the development features of flask, such as auto-reload. to do this, just set the flask environment to development

export FLASK_ENV='development'
