== A Note on comments

You may spot a number of comments in this repository that look a little like this:

[source,python]

tag::something[]

someCode()

end::something[]

We use link:https://asciidoc-py.github.io/index.html[Asciidoc^] to author our courses. Using these tags means that we can use a macro to include portions of code directly into the course itself.

From the point of view of the course, you can go ahead and ignore them.

== Setting up your environment

[source,sh]

python -m venv neoflix

source neoflix/bin/activate

== Running the Application

[source,sh] export FLASK_APP=api export FLASK_ENV=development flask run
