# Quick n dirty
- after cloning, run `py -3 -m venv .venv` in the root directory and then `.venv\Scripts\activate`
- then `pip install Flask` inside the virtual env
- you might also need to init a database, so use `flask --app myriad init-db`
- to start the site use `flask --app myriad run --debug`
do not deploy this way, the packaged flask server is not secure. production instructions will be provided when the project is ready
- you will need to run `.venv\Scripts\activate` from the folder every time you start working on it
- re-building the entire database with `flask --app myriad init-db` (losing all the data inside) will be necessary as development continues. DO NOT STORE ANYTHING IMPORTANT DURING DEVELOPMENT
- start the site with `flask --app myriad run --debug` as usual
