 # flask_api_example
 
 A sample project showing how to build a scalable, maintainable, modular Flask API with a heavy emphasis on testing.
+
+## Running the app
+
+Preferably, first create a virtualenv and activate it, perhaps with the following command:
+
+```
+virtualenv -p python3 venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+Next, run
+
+```
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+to get the dependencies.
+
+Next, initialize the database
+
+```
+python manage.py seed_db
+```
+
+Type "Y" to accept the message (which is just there to prevent you accidentally deleting things -- it's just a local SQLite database)
+
+Finally run the app with
+
+```
+python wsgi.py
+```
+
+Navigate to the posted URL in your terminal to be greeted with Swagger, where you can test out the API.
