    1. git clone this repo
    2. Run pipenv install -r requirements.txt, to install all dependencies from the pipfile.lock
    3. Create a .env file to store details of sqlite db URI as DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///name.db
    4. Create a .flaskenv file to set FLASK_APP = url_shortener and FLASK_ENV = development, so that you can run the app in development.
