Then run the following commands to bootstrap your environment.

git clone https://github.com/jimmyho/Flask-Material-Lite
cd flaskMDL
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

You will see a pretty welcome screen.

Once you have installed your DBMS, run the following to create your app's database tables and perform the initial migration:

python manage.py db init
python manage.py db migrate
python manage.py db upgrade
python manage.py server

In your production environment, make sure the FLASKMDL_ENV environment variable is set to "prod".

To open the interactive shell, run

python manage.py shell

By default, you will have access to app, db, and the User model.
