To run the application, we need to tell flask which file to accept as starting point.

• (MAC): export FLASK_APP=application.py
• (MAC): export FLASK_DEBUG=1
• (windows): set FLASK_APP=application.py
• (windows): set FLASK_DEBUG=1
• flask run (this will start the flask instance by default on 127.0.0.1:5000)

application.py: This is the name of our code file, that has logic for flask, it can be any file name.

Also, above commands need to be run on "terminal" for MAC and "command prompt" for Windows.

Note: FLASK_DEBUG=1 helps to pick any code change automatically, without restarting the app, just refreshing the page reflects changes.
