Running the app

There are three separate processes that need to be running for the app to work: the server, the worker, and Redis.

If you stop any of these processes, you will need to start them back up!

Commands to start each are listed below. If you need to stop them, select the terminal window the process is running in and press Control-C

To run the Python server

inv dev

To run the worker

inv devworker

To run Redis

redis-server

To reset the database

flask --app app.web init-db
