Python: Getting Started

A barebones Flask app.

Running Locally

Make sure you have Python 3.7 installed locally. To push to Heroku, you'll need to install the Heroku CLI.

$ git clone https://github.com/kevinlwebb/heroku-zoo.git
$ cd heroku-zoo

$ python3 -m venv heroku-env
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

$ flask run

Your app should now be running on localhost:5000.
