I have cloned the flask app from GitHub and while trying to run it locally I got an error

Could not locate a Flask application. 
You did not provide the "FLASK_APP" environment variable, 
and a "wsgi.py" or "app.py" module was not found in 
the current directory."

Assuming you have followed the Flask tutorial, check your current shell.

For instance, on Windows, you would need:

  • set "FLASK_APP=webapp" in a CMD session
  • $env:FLASK_APP = "webapp" in a PowerShell session
