Modify application.py to replace the secret key (i.e. os.environ.get('SECRET')) with a secret key of your choice and the database link (i.e. os.environ.get('DATABASE_URL')) with the link to your own database.
The two lines to be edited in application.py are shown below:
app.secret_key=os.environ.get('SECRET')
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI']=os.environ.get('DATABASE_URL')-
Edit create.py to once again replace os.environ.get('DATABASE_URL') with the link to your database.
-
