Installation

LNbits uses Flask.

Application dependencies

The application uses Pipenv to manage Python packages. While in development, you will need to install all dependencies (includes packages like black and flake8):

$ pipenv shell
$ pipenv install --dev

Running the server

$ flask run

There is an environment variable called FLASK_ENV that has to be set to development if you want to run Flask in debug mode with autoreload
