It is recomended to install the backend first, make sure you have Python 3.8, Pipenv and a database engine (Posgress recomended)
- Install the python packages:
$ pipenv install - Create a .env file based on the .env.example:
$ cp .env.example .env - Install your database engine and create your database, depending on your database you have to create a DATABASE_URL variable with one of the possible values, make sure you replace the valudes with your database information:
| Engine | DATABASE_URL |
|---|---|
| SQLite | sqlite:////test.db |
| MySQL | mysql://username:password@localhost:port/example |
| Postgress | postgres://username:password@localhost:5432/example |
- Migrate the migrations:
$ pipenv run migrate(skip if you have not made changes to the models on the./src/api/models.py) - Run the migrations:
$ pipenv run upgrade - Run the application:

psql -h localhost -U gitpod example
To insert test users in the database execute the following command:
$ flask insert-test-users 5And you will see the following message:
