3. Create a .env file based on the example with proper settings for your development environment

4. Setup your PostgreSQL user, password and database and make sure it matches your .env file

5. Get into your pipenv, migrate your database, seed your database, and run your flask app

IMPORTANT! If you add any python dependencies to your pipfiles, you'll need to regenerate your requirements.txt before deployment. You can do this by running:

pipenv lock -r > requirements.txt

ALSO IMPORTANT! psycopg2-binary MUST remain a dev dependency because you can't install it on apline-linux. There is a layer in the Dockerfile that will install psycopg2 (not binary) for us.
