Currently the application can only be ran locally due to Heroku no longer offering free hosting service for PostgreSQL database. I'm looking for a replacement host.

1. Install and run PostgreSQL database.
2. Clone the repository

Create the following .env file:

DATABASE_URL=database location
SECRET_KEY=secure key

Setup and run venv virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Create database tables:

psql < schema/schema.sql

And finally to run the application:

flask --app app.py run
