cp .env.example .env
npm install
npm start  # run the webpack dev server and flask server using concurrently

Do not deploy with the quickstart, instead do this for cloud hosting. Deployment

To deploy::

export FLASK_ENV=production
export FLASK_DEBUG=0
export DATABASE_URL="<YOUR DATABASE URL>"
npm run build   # build assets with webpack
flask run       # start the flask server

In your production environment, make sure the FLASK_DEBUG environment variable is unset or is set to 0.
