* `PIPENV_VENV_IN_PROJECT=1 pipenv install`
* `cp config.py.sample config.py` and override the settings from `defaults.py`
* `MOA_CONFIG=config.DevelopmentConfig /usr/local/bin/pipenv run python -m moa.models` to create the DB tables
* `MOA_CONFIG=config.DevelopmentConfig /usr/local/bin/pipenv run python app.py`

## Twitter App setup

If you plan to use twitter then you'll need to create a twitter app first so the required crednetials can be obtained.

* Follow the steps here to get started https://python-twitter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html
* For the Callback URL use [moa_base_url]/twitter_oauthorized e.g. https://example.com/twitter_oauthorized
* Access Permissions need to be "read" and "write"
